Exquisite Antique R.S. Prussia (Reinhold Schlegelmilch) Porcelain Tea & Biscuit Service – 16 Pieces – Circa 1895–1910An exceptionally elegant and rare Art Nouveau porcelain tea service crafted by the renowned Reinhold Schlegelmilch (R.S. Prussia) factory in Tillowitz (now Poland). This delicate service is defined by its dramatic hexagonal silhouettes, scalloped rims, and a signature relief mold design adorned with a soft mint-green luster glaze edge and stunning purple/lavender floral motifs of Wood Violets (Viola odorata) Violets were an exceptionally popular botanical motif during the late Victorian and early Art Nouveau periods, symbolizing modesty, faithfulness, and subtle luxury. R.S. Prussia frequently combined these small, deep purple petal clusters with soft, blending pastel green edges to achieve a dreamy, delicate watercolor aesthetic.A highly collectible feature of this specific set is the incised multi-pointed starburst mark present on the underside clay of the main service bodies, verifying its early authentic production origin from the turn of the 20th century.Lot Details & CompositionTotal Items: 16 Pieces Main Serving Ware (All base-marked with the incised R.S.
