Indulge in the refined elegance of this exquisite Dresden Carl Thieme German hand painted porcelain vase, a luxurious example of late 19th–early 20th century European artistry. Beautifully decorated with delicate floral motifs and finished with gilt handles, this piece embodies the grace and sophistication for which Dresden porcelain is renowned.
Crafted in Germany by the esteemed Carl Thieme factory in Potschappel, this vase showcases the meticulous hand painting and opulent gilded detailing associated with high-end antique porcelain. The gently rounded body is adorned with finely executed flowers in soft, romantic tones, framed by subtle contouring that catches the light and emphasizes the fluid form of the piece.
The gilt handles are a particular highlight, adding a sense of luxury and refinement. Their graceful, scrolling shape not only provides a practical grip but also serves as an ornamental feature, enhancing the vase’s presence whether displayed alone or as part of a curated collection. The shimmering gold contrasts beautifully with the pure porcelain ground and the colorful floral decoration, creating a harmonious and visually striking composition.
With a height of approximately 18 cm and a diameter of about 15.5 cm, this vase is perfectly proportioned for use as a decorative accent on a mantelpiece, sideboard, console table, or in a display cabinet. Its size makes it ideal for presenting a small arrangement of fresh or dried flowers, yet it is equally captivating as a standalone art object, allowing the hand painted details and gilded embellishments to take center stage.
This antique Dresden porcelain vase is in good condition throughout, especially considering its age. The hand painted floral designs remain vibrant and well-defined, and the gilt handles retain their rich, golden sheen. As with all antique pieces, minor signs of age and gentle use may be present, contributing to the authenticity and character of the vase. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description, and do not hesitate to request additional images or information if required.
