Antique MZ Austria Moritz Zdekauer Violet Floral Porcelain Candy Dish * READ*

A little piece of Old World elegance, preserved in porcelain.   This beautiful *antique MZ Austria porcelain handled bonbon/candy dish by Moritz Zdekauer* brings together delicate artistry and romantic turn-of-the-century style.  The softly shaped bowl features a pale celadon-green border with graceful *embossed floral and scrollwork detailing*, a dramatically scalloped rim and elegant gold gilding. Delicate clusters of purple violets and green leaves trail across the creamy center, while the raised handle is richly accented in gold for an especially refined finishing touch.  Beautiful enough to display on its own, this petite treasure can hold wrapped candies, nuts or small treats, or serve as a charming vanity or jewelry dish. Its romantic florals and soft coloring pair beautifully with *Victorian, Grandmillennial, Cottagecore and traditional décor*.  The underside bears the recognizable *MZ Austria double-headed eagle backstamp*, adding collector appeal and helping identify its historic Austrian porcelain origin.  More than a pretty dish, it's a surviving piece of European decorative porcelain—lovely for an MZ Austria collection and just as enchanting displayed on a vanity, tea table or curio shelf.  *Maker:* Moritz Zdekauer / MZ Austria *Decoration:* Purple violets, pale green, embossed relief & gold trim *Backstamp:* MZ Austria double-headed eagle  Measures approx.: 6    Inv.
