The AEAA is very pleased to present this gorgeous Sylvan garden scene porcelain hand accented bowl, with a stunning quasi nude lady & pigeons, surrounded with an exceptional Fuchsia band and three splendid bright gilded floral medallions.

Our base stamp constitutes the Imperial Crown China mark, which was only used from 1891 to 1913. Our fantastic bowl sits 9 x 2 inches deep, weighing 1# 3 oz., and is in wonderful condition. Pleas examine the transfer details carefully, as we have never seen a more dynamic scenic than this one! xxxxxxxxxxx. Bawo & Dotter of Limoges fame, also had a major decorating studio in Bohemia. White Wares were accepted from only quality German potters for hand painting and export to the United States. A separate stamp from the Elite works of France was used to denote the Bawo & Dotter Bohemian line. The Austria, Imperial Crown China stamp, was a decorators and importers mark for Bawo and Dotter exclusively, and used for wares that had been finished in its own porcelain decorating studio in Fischern, Bohemia (now Rybare Czechia). Their main corporate office was in New York City, and the years of operation were ca. 1883 to 1914.
