Porcelain Bowl with Gold Floral Decoration Oscar Schlegelmilch

A beautiful vintage porcelain bowl by Oscar Schlegelmilch, the German porcelain maker from Langewiesen, Thuringia. It has an elegant scalloped, fluted shape, a warm ivory glaze and a striking central flower decorated in gold with delicate brown scrolling details. The fine gilded rim and softly shaped edges give it a lovely antique feel, perfect for a dressing table, display cabinet or elegant vintage interior. The underside is marked Oscar Schlegelmilch and “Handgemalt”, meaning hand-painted in German. The factory produced decorative porcelain for many decades, and comparable gilded floral bowls are dated to around the mid-20th century. This piece has lovely vintage character, with visible wear and rubbing to the gold decoration, particularly across the central flower, and a small dark mark near the floral stem.
