Antique gilded & pearlized porcelain compote pedestal bowl. Vienna, Austria.

Description

Antique gilded and pearlized porcelain compote pedestal bowl. Vienna, Austria. Hand-painted.
Signed by
Other L. Black
Approximately 5.25"Diameter x 4.0” High
The importer mark found on the bottom of the bowl was used from around 1885 by P. H. Leonard, then Bawo & Dotter followed by Charles L. Dwenger and finally Paul A. Straub. PH Leonard had been the first until his bankruptcy in 1898. He was succeeded by Bawo & Dotter who took his place for a short time before being replaced by Charles L. Dwenger, followed by Straub around 1915. It would be difficult to determine the age of this piece.  The artist, Othel L. Black, signed the piece, but I could find nothing about him/her.

Please note that FEDEX Ground is generally the least expensive method of shipping, especially to the west coast.  However, it is the slowest.  Currently it is taking about 10 to 14 days for delivery.  If time is crucial you may prefer to look at UPS or USPS Priority Mail as an alternative – these are usually more expensive but much faster.

My inventory comprises items not fresh off the shelf from Walmart. As with most antiques these items are used, a little worn with a few dings, scratches, chipping or bruises - indicative of previous use. Most antique collectors appreciate these little residuals of age. It is considered a part of the “patina.” I use high-resolution photos, taken from many angles & perspectives. Take a close look at the item you are appraising for purchase. I include any major flaw or damage of the item in the description, but minor flaws must be discerned from the photos. If the item does not meet your standards, or if you prefer new items, by no means purchase it. You will not be happy and I only want satisfied customers.
