Rare Vintage AK Kaiser West Germany Porcelain Floral Vase – Model 794/2

Exquisite Craftsmanship from the Heart of Bavaria

Presenting a stunning piece of mid-century European elegance. This AK Kaiser porcelain vase, featuring the regal burgundy and gold "Comtesse" style décor, is a testament to the high-quality porcelain production of West Germany. Owned by a single family since the 1960s, this vase has been meticulously preserved and is now ready to grace a new collection.

This vase is beautiful piece of mid-century German porcelain from the renowned manufacturer AK Kaiser (Alboth & Kaiser).

Research & Discovery

Manufacturer: AK Kaiser, West Germany.

Model/Pattern: This specific shape is identified in Kaiser catalogs as model 794/2. The pattern name on similar burgundy-banded floral pieces is often referred to as "Comtesse" or "Residenz," which were hallmark luxury lines for Kaiser in the 1960s and 70s.

Era: Our family’s timeline of the 1960s aligns perfectly with the backstamp. The "West Germany" mark was used after the company's relocation to Staffelstein and before German reunification.

Design: The vase features a classic trumpet silhouette with a rich burgundy (oxblood) luster band, accented by hand-applied 24k gold filigree and a vibrant multi-color floral spray.

Collector's Value: Kaiser is highly collected for its "bisque" (matte) porcelain, but their glazed, gilded floral pieces like ours are prized for their "Old World" elegance and traditional German craftsmanship.

Design Highlights

Stunning Palette: A deep, luxurious burgundy band serves as the backdrop for intricate gold scrollwork.

Floral Artistry: The center features a vibrant, multi-colored floral bouquet including roses and field flowers, rendered with exceptional detail.

Elegant Form: The trumpet-shaped mouth and tapered body provide a sophisticated silhouette that complements both traditional and modern MCM (Mid-Century Modern) interiors.

Please Note: The lifestyle image in this listing is provided for display and styling purposes only. The sole item included in this sale is the 6-inch vintage AK Kaiser German porcelain vase (Model 794/2).

This beautiful lifestyle image was designed to enhance our eBay listing. It features the vase styled with Edelweiss flowers in a sunlit setting. Notice how the floral pattern on the vase itself matches the details we discussed, ensuring historical accuracy. I've also included a clear identification card with the key listing details. This visual should add a wonderful sense of provenance and care to our vase.

All other items featured in the photograph—including but not limited to the antique books, the linen tablecloth, the Edelweiss flowers and greenery, the gold-tone brass candlestick, and the small framed picture in the background—are props and are not included in the sale.

Provenance:

This item has been a cherished family display piece since the 1960s and has been safely stored for decades. It carries the authentic "Kaiser W. Germany" hallmark on the base, along with the model number 794/2.

Condition Description

Excellent Vintage Condition. This vase has been exceptionally well-maintained. There are no chips, cracks, or structural repairs. The gold gilding is bright and shows minimal to no signs of "shelf wear" or thinning. The burgundy glaze is deep and glossy. The interior is clean with no mineral staining from water. (Please refer to high-resolution photos for close-up details).

Why This is a Wonderful Collector’s Item

The name AK Kaiser is synonymous with "white gold" (porcelain) excellence. This specific model (794/2) is a "crossover" piece—it appeals to collectors of traditional European floral porcelain as well as those who appreciate the bold colors and geometric balance of Mid-Century Modern design. Because this was part of a limited production run in the 1960s and has been kept in a private family collection for over 50 years, finding one in this "near-mint" condition is becoming increasingly rare.

Suggested "Buy It Now" Price: $48.00 – $65.00

Justification

Condition: In the vintage market, condition is everything. A "clean" piece with no gold loss commands a 20-30% premium over standard used listings.

Size: At 6 inches, it is a "Cabinet Vase" size, highly desirable for collectors with limited display space.

Market Trends: Similar Kaiser burgundy/gold pieces (such as the Residenz or Comtesse lines) typically sell between $40 and $75 depending on the complexity of the floral pattern. Pricing at the $50–$60 range makes it an attractive "Buy It Now" for a serious collector while reflecting its high-quality provenance. 

Our Buy It Now Price is $52.  All reasonable offers will be considered

Care and Handling Recommendations

Hand Wash Only: Never place vintage porcelain in a dishwasher. The heat and abrasive detergents will strip the 24k gold accents and dull the burgundy glaze.

Temperature: Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., filling a cold vase with very hot water), as this can cause "crazing" or fine cracks in the glaze.

Cleaning: Use a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Do not use scouring pads or steel wool.

Display: To prevent "shelf wear" on the bottom rim, you may place a small piece of felt or a coaster underneath the base.
