Description

A fine Nymphenburg covered butter dish from the Louis XVIII service, c.1895. Finely potted porcelain with spiral fluting and scalloped rims, hand-painted with floral sprays and finished with gilt edging. The underside bears the crowned shield mark in blue, with impressed factory numerals and decorator’s marks.

The Louis XVIII name reflects the 19th-century revival of Rococo style under Bavaria’s royal patronage. Founded in 1747 by Elector Maximilian III Joseph of Bavaria and established in Nymphenburg Palace in 1761, the manufactory has long been associated with courtly refinement and hand-made porcelain of the highest quality.
