German Schierholz Porcelain Centrepiece with Cherubs, C.1907

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A fine German porcelain centrepiece attributed to the Plaue manufactory of C. G. Schierholz & Sohn, c.1907. The design features an open Rococo basket carried by two cherubs standing on scrolling feet. The basket bears painted floral sprigs, and the exterior is wrapped with a garland of applied roses in pink, yellow and violet tones.

The modelling of the cherubs is typical of Plaue’s refined sculptural idiom, while the applied-flower work is characteristic of the factory’s highly skilled female artisans, each petal shaped and shaded by hand.

Historical Background

Schierholz was one of the leading German centres for sculptural porcelain at the turn of the century. Its close relationships with several princely households helped establish its reputation for complex centrepieces, figural garnitures and sophisticated applied decoration.

FAQs

A porcelain cherub centrepiece is an ornamental ceramic vessel featuring sculpted winged figures, or putti, integrated into the structure of a central bowl or basket, popular in 19th and early 20th-century European dining decor.

These vessels were crafted from hard-paste porcelain, featuring individually hand-moulded petals, flowers, and figures attached to the basket lattice prior to glazing, gilding, and multiple kiln firings.

Authenticity is verified by checking for underglaze or impressed maker marks on the base, examining the precision of hand-painted polychrome enamels, and inspecting the density and quality of applied floral decoration.

Position the centrepiece as a focal point on a dining table or sideboard, pairing it with clean-lined glassware or neutral table linens to balance the elaborate sculptural detailing.

Dust the intricate floral petals and lattice work using a soft, dry camel-hair paintbrush or compressed air, avoiding full water immersion or abrasive cleaners that may loosen applied elements or wear away gilding.
