Rauenstein Blue Bird lidded butter dish 19th century
SKU: SD1001Rauenstein lidded butter dish with attached plate, decorated with pattern Blue Bird. Second half of the 19th century, Germany.
In 1783, the three Greiner brothers founded the Friedrich Christian Greiner und Söhne porcelain factory in Rauenstein Castle in the town of the same name in Thuringia. Following the successful blue and white Meissen porcelain, they entered into competition, with the difference that the Rauenstein products were made of thicker porcelain and therefore broke less quickly than the Meissen products. Greiner und Söhne, popularly called Rauenstein, was owned by the Greiner family until 1893.
Not marked, but due to model and decoration it can be attributed with certainty to the Rauenstein porcelain factory. The Blue Bird pattern was produced by Gotthelf Greiner from 1859 to the end of the 19th century. Collector's item.
Dimensions: diameter attached plate 21 cm, diameter butter dish 10 cm.
In excellent condition, no chips, cracks or restorations. A baked grain of sand on the inside. Wear to the gold details, normal given age and use.
