Antique Silesian Porcelain Pitcher – Königszelt Gilded Floral Coffee Pot 1880s

This elegant antique porcelain pitcher with lid originates from the renowned Königszelt porcelain factory in Silesia and dates to the early 1880s. Its distinctive form features a rounded body and a characteristic elongated handle, mirrored by the lid finial for a balanced and harmonious design.
The surface is decorated with a refined gilded botanical motif set against a soft sky-blue background, creating a delicate contrast that reflects the craftsmanship of late 19th-century European porcelain. The proportions and ornamental detail give the piece both decorative charm and historical depth.
Produced under the ownership of August Rappsilber, the factory mark—a blue underglaze eagle with the initials “A.R.”—dates this piece precisely to the period between 1880 and 1886. Such clearly identifiable marks are highly valued by collectors of antique porcelain.
This piece works beautifully as decorative tableware or as a standalone display object in traditional, vintage, or eclectic interiors. It brings a sense of history and European elegance to any setting.
The pitcher is in very good antique condition with no damage and only minor signs of use consistent with age. Please review all photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.
