Sandwich plate (6) - Ceramic - Blue Hibiscus Majolica

Rare Georg Schmider Zeller Majolica Cake Service (6 pcs) – "Blue Hibiscus" & Basketweave – Jugendstil, Germany c. 1910 Discover a stunning piece of German ceramic history. This vibrant antique majolica dessert set, produced by the renowned Georg Schmider / Zeller Keramik factory, is a masterful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Dating to the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) period (circa 1907–1920s), this set is defined by its breathtaking high-relief molding. The background mimics a creamy, textured basketweave ("Korbgeflecht"), which serves as the perfect canvas for the dramatic central motif: a large, hand-painted Blue Hibiscus blossom with a striking yellow center and lush green foliage. The glaze is deep, lustrous, and intensely colorful—classic characteristics that make Zeller majolica highly collectible today. This is not just tableware; it is display-worthy ceramic art. The Set Includes (6 Pieces): 1x Large Serving Platter / Cake Plate (Perfect for gateaux or display) 27 cm in diameter 5x Dessert / Pastry Plates, 17 cm in diameter Object Details: Manufacturer: Georg Schmider, Zell am Harmersbach. Markings: Impressed Georg Schmider shield mark and Model No. 2207. Stamped "Made in Germany." Material: Glazed Majolica (Earthenware). Pattern: Blue Hibiscus on Basketweave. Style: Art Nouveau / Jugendstil. Estimated Period: 1910–1928. Condition: No cracklings, no color fading, over all in very good condition except for a tiny chipping on the handles of the big serving platter due to its old age. (see photos)
