This was a high quality U.S.A. pottery, all of their pieces are numbered and many of their works are in museums. Their designs are colorful and unique.

This pretty, little celery dish was made in the Art Nouveau style which was popular during 1890-1930, its delicate floral pattern does look Victorian & feminine. This style is know for flowing lines and shapes inspired by Nature. You can certainly see this in the gently curved edge of the dish. It's of good quality porcelain that was made in Germany between 1912-1945. An interesting note about this pottery, is that to this day forgeries of their items are sold. Mostly vases and decorative items. So beware-

I really love this simple leafy design, which is pattern: SCG28-Leaves & Brown Pods w/ Gold Trim. I think it deserves a more interesting name. It's dark and light shades of brown with pale greens. Schirnding is the name of the town where the pottery was founded in 1901. By 1906 the factory had 6 modern kilns, electric lights and its own link to the local railroad. It survived WWI & WWII and is still a successful business today.
