Crafted by the renowned Rosenthal China (R.C.) company, these shakers feature the highly sought-after, elegant "Versailles" mold style. This matching set captures the timeless romance of Victorian-era tableware.

      Design & Craftsmanship

      - Aesthetic Style: Traditional Art Nouveau floral motif.
      - Artistry: Delicate pink roses and buds are artfully hand-painted against a softly shaded backdrop of muted sage greens and warm cream tones.
      - Gilding: The tops feature heavy, radiant gold-gilt coverage with a beautiful, intact luster.
      - Form: The distinct "corset" style shape flares gracefully into a six-point ruffled, scalloped base.

      Age & Authenticity

      - Circa Date: 1891–1906
      - Backstamps: Both pieces feature the verified, vintage green printed Rosenthal crown backstamp over crossed lines, marked "R.C. Versailles Bavaria."
      - Provenance: Authentic late-Victorian to early-Edwardian German porcelain art.

      Condition & Specifications

      - Stoppers: Complete with their original, snugly fitting wood/cork bottom plugs.
      - Condition: Excellent antique condition. The porcelain has no chips, cracks, or spidering fractures. The gold-leaf tops show remarkably minimal rubbing or age wear.
      - Dimensions: 2" wide at the base x 2.75" tall.
