Pair of Schumann Bavaria Reticulated Porcelain Dishes

Schumann Arzberg Bavaria, often simply referred to as Schumann Bavaria, is a well-known German porcelain manufacturer with a long history dating back to the 19th century. They are recognized for producing high-quality porcelain dinnerware and decorative items, often featuring intricate floral patterns and gilded accents. The "Dresden Flowers" style, characterized by detailed hand-painted bouquets, is a popular decorative theme associated with many German porcelain makers, evoking the rococo artistry of Meissen. These reticulated dishes, also known as bon-bon dishes or trays, were commonly used in the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries for serving small sweets or as decorative accent pieces. The pierced lattice work, combined with the delicate floral painting and gold trim, exemplifies the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the period, making them sought-after by collectors of vintage tableware and decorative porcelain.
