Carlsbad Fine Porcelain Lidded Bowl -Trinket Box- Made in Czechoslovakia ca 1910

Description: Rare Antique hand-painted fine porcelain bowl or trinket box by Friedrich Simon Carlsbad FSC c.1910, Czechoslovakia. 8 7/8" - Larger version - with Lid still intact! Remarkably stored with beautiful painted scenes - we think this is one of the finest examples available and of museum quality. The top of the lid showing two children sitting and playing a game of chance while a third is standing next to them snacking on a treat while his dog stares up hoping to share in the goodie! The round and domed painting is encircled in gold ornamentation and lovely claret red / dark scarlet background. Art nouveau gold accents adorn in the rimming pattern with raised gold paint dots that you can feel with your finger tips. Then the Lid's underside is a gorgeous deep reflective gold encrusted surface! This glossy reflective gold encrusting continues inside the bowl from the top rim down to the magnificent painting in the bottom of the bowl - "STUNNING beauty" are the first two words that come to mind as I look at these two lovely maidens. Resting, hand-in-hand, with angelic facial features. Fine flowing clothes and a cornucopia of fruit and flowers at their reach. The exterior of the bowl is an advanced pattern of the top lid with gold swirls, green dots of cream bands, and the dark scarlet background. One last thin band of gold presents at the bowl's bottom edge then gives way to a white bottom. On the bottom of the bowl is the maker's mark of the silver flag with a beehive symbol and the FSC stamp that reads it is " fine porcelain and was made in Czecho-Slovakia". There are no cracks or chips on either piece but there are a few minor surface scratches on the one snacking boy's shoulder / chest visible with a magnification loop ( it may be dirt ). For 113 -year old antique - it has a lovely patina. This bowl measures approximately 8 7/8” in diameter and 4 3/8” in height. The bottom of the bowl is marked with a beehive symbol and the FSC stamp that reads it is fine porcelain and was made in Czecho-Slovakia. Dimensions: 4 3/8" tall x 8 7/8" diameter Condition: Great condition. Smoke free home. All items are described to the best of my ability.
