Why I Chose This Piece

I fell in love with the romantic feel of this dish—the lace-like reticulated edge, the soft floral design that’s just gently worn with age, and the elegance that feels right at home in both antique and cottage-style settings. It has that rare ability to feel both refined and welcoming, and I knew it belonged in my collection of curated finds.

A Bit of History

Porcelain marked “Germany” typically dates post-1891, when U.S. import laws required country of origin stamps. The fine reticulated edges were a specialty of many smaller German porcelain houses, prized for their lace-like detail and handmade appeal. These dishes were often made for export and are now sought after for their romantic elegance and historical charm.
