Vintage German-Style Floral Porcelain Handled Serving Bowl (Nappy Dish)

Vintage German-Style Floral Porcelain Handled Serving Bowl (Nappy Dish)

This elegant vintage porcelain handled serving bowl, often referred to as a nappy dish, features a softly scalloped rim with integrated side handles and a beautifully detailed hand-painted floral motif at the center. The design showcases rich red roses, soft white blossoms, and lush green foliage, set against a creamy porcelain background with subtle molded detailing along the rim.

Handled porcelain bowls of this style were popular in the early 20th century, particularly among German and German-influenced European manufacturers, who were well known for their fine porcelain craftsmanship and romantic floral decoration. These bowls were commonly used for sweets, nuts, sauces, or individual servings, but today are just as cherished for decorative display.

The gently curved handles, raised rim texture, and painterly floral center give this piece strong Victorian and Edwardian-era influence, making it a lovely addition to antique, cottagecore, shabby chic, traditional, and romantic vintage décor. It displays beautifully in a china cabinet, on a shelf, or as part of a floral porcelain collection.

Condition:
Very good antique condition. No visible cracks observed. Minor age-related wear and glaze variation consistent with early 20th-century porcelain. Please review the photos for details.
