Black & Puce Lidded Dish w/ Spoon

This is a superb lidded dish with its spoon made by Nymphenburg in the 20th century. The little bowl it attached to its underplate and has a lid with a slot for the spoon to come out of. The pieces are hand painted with puce flowers as well as a puce trim that stands out superbly against the black and white ground. The spoon is just white with a bit of puce trim and a flower in the bowl part. This color combination of the black and white with the puce is one of my favorite and it just doesn't get old. This dish is very hard to find and was likely meant for jelly but could be used for honey , mustard or even sugar or whatever else you like :) The piece is in great condition with the lid and spoon being perfect but the side of the bowl part has some of the black color flaking off along the bottom edge as shown and a few scratched to the black on the under side of the saucer part. The flaking is some sort of firing issues that I have not seen before. A little black paint would cover that up perfectly and it is also fine as is. The underside of the saucer is marked with the impressed shield mark as well as the green shield with Nymphenburg under it. The saucer part has a diameter of about 5 inches and the dish is 3.75 inches tall to the top of the finial. The spoon is 4.625 inches long. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $149
