Porcelain serving bowl blue onion « Zwiebelmuster » Meissen – Carl Teichert

Definition.

This beautiful serving bowl was made at the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century in Germany.

The serving bowl is made of cast porcelain, after which blue figures were painted and glazed by hand.

At the bottom is the blue mark of Meissen with the 5 point star as well as the blind mark of meissen.

As a result, we know perfectly well that it was made between 1894 and 1914.

Given its age, there may be a trace of use. There may be small scratches or stains due to age.

Meissen – Carl Teichert

The Carl Teichert factory produced everyday household items. It was established in 1863 by Carl Teichert who died a few years later in 1871. It started as oven tiles producer. In 1880 the manufactory began producing porcelain  tableware well as figurines. It was known for the onion pattern porcelain.

The onion pattern was also produced in the Czech factory located in Eichwald. In 1923 they overtook Ernst Teichert GMBH and two years later also Stockhardt & Schmidt-Eckert. In 1929 porcelain production was stopped. The onion pattern production department bought Lorenz Hutschenreuther AG located in Selb.

The Meissen Oven and Porcelain Manufactory formerly Carl Teichert (Meissner Ofen- und Porzellanfabrik vorm. Carl Teichert) mark is often mistakenly taken for Royal (later State) Porcelain Manufactory Meissen, which used crossed swords as a mark.

It was thanks to society's fascination with the art of Chinese paintings that the famous "Onion Pattern" (Zwiebelmuster) was born in the workshops of the Meissen factory in the 30s of the 18th century. German masters, who had never seen these wonders, tried to recreate images of tropical fruits – pomegranates, peaches, lemons – from Chinese paintings, depicting them in such a way that they looked more like onions.
