Hat pins were used for large hats and elaborate hair styles from the 1880s through the 1910s. Both the pins - and the holders used to conveniently store and display them- were highly decorative. This 4-2/3 inch porcelain holder features handpainted pink and white roses with a wine and gold border and is marked Prince Regent China LDBC Germany, with Bavaria stamped underneath. I understand these were marks used by the Moschendorf Porcelain Company (Porzellanfabrik Moschendorf A.G.) The website www.porcelainmarksandmore.com tells us:
"From around 1910 until 1938 a contract existed between the Porzellanfabrik Moschendorf AG and the New York based import and distribution company Leon D. Bloch & Co. who not only ordered items in Moschendorf but from other manufacturers like Schmider in Zell. Even if the Moschendorf factory had it's own export marks, the items sold to Bloch carry a special mark which includes the name "Prince Regent", a trade name owned by the Moschendorf business which had been registered together with "Prince Regent Bavaria" and "Prince Regent Germany"."
I am including two glass topped hat pins: one in orange (3-1/2"), the other pearly white (about 2-1/2"). There is some flaking of the orange colour and slight chipping at the base, but the items are otherwise in excellent condition.
This is one of four hat pin holders from an estate that I have listed.
