Important Dating and Attribution Note
The piece is clearly marked Regina Ware Germany Handpainted. Similar pieces are frequently described by sellers as vintage German porcelain, with some listings connecting the line to the broader R.S. Prussia collecting category. However, the exact manufacturer and production year of this specific backstamp have not been independently verified. For accuracy, this listing does not claim a definite R.S. Prussia attribution.
Why This Piece Is Desirable
* Original fitted lid is still present
* Distinctive double-handle silhouette
* Hand-painted rather than plain transfer-only decoration
* Soft pastel floral palette
* Clearly marked German porcelain
* Useful as both serveware and décor
* Attractive for vintage china, German porcelain, floral, cottage, and shabby-chic collections
* More decorative than many basic Regina Ware serving pieces
