Early 20th Century Schumann Bavaria ‘Halo’ Design Square Serving Dish

This is a highly attractive serving dish from the ‘Halo’ suite by Schumann Bavaria. The bowl is approximately square in shape, tapering in towards the base. The rim is scalloped and gilded, although the gilding is worn in places. The underside has an unglazed footrim, revealing the underlying ceramic to be white in colour. There is no mark but an incised number three. It has a height of approximately 5.5cm, with a width at the rim of about 7.8cm and a width across the base of about 12.1cm. It is in good condition for its age, with no chips or cracks, although there are a few wear and tear surface scratches and a few slightly dark marks on the interior. These are only visible on the closest inspection but this wear is reflected in the price.
