This striking compote is a product of the famous china manufacturer Carl Schumann decorated with the pattern named 'Chateau'. The rim of the bowl is marked by reticulation that has been further embellished by flowers, foliage, and gold flourishes. The edge is also encircled with gold as is the very center of the piece. The beautiful Dresden style flowers that adorn this lovely centerpiece have been imbued with tints that span the rainbow, and all are nestled in verdant foliage. Furher down on the stem of the piece are two gold rings betwixt and beneath which are floral sprays and a rocco style pattern of gold flourishes and Dresden style flora. The underside of the dish is stamped with the Schumann crest beneath which in black is marked: "Schumann" "Germany, Chateau, Dresden Flowers".
