Bavaria, a region in Germany known for its thriving ceramics industry. In Latin, it's called "Bavaria," and in Japan, it's often referred to as "Bavaria tableware." This is a vintage teapot from the Schumann company, a manufacturer from that famous region✩.*˚ It's a rare hand-painted rose garland pot✩.*˚ The small flowers are painted all over, making it both luxurious and elegant, a very cute pot✩.*˚ This is a rare series pot that mixes the usual garland (the garland itself is also rare) with gold-painted waves. It features the popular tulip pattern✩.*˚ I was keeping this for myself, but I decided to list it because someone wanted to see the pictures. However, since I was planning to keep it, I might take it down in the future m(_ _)m Matching garland & gold-painted cup & saucer are also listed in the last image. There are also matching dessert plates. It's a very rare pot, and it's a cute and elegant series✩.*˚ The gold paint on Schumann Bavaria often turns copper-brown due to aging (oxidation) (giving it a blackish appearance). Items with dark, non-shiny gold paint give the overall impression of being very heavy and have the dark, musty impression typical of old items. All the Schumann items I'm listing have bright, shining gold paint, and I've carefully selected them to give a more vibrant impression. For your reference m(_ _)m Made in Germany Spout to handle: Approximately 21.5cm Capacity: 1,000ml ★Condition★ Both the pattern and the gold paint are beautiful, with no peeling or discoloration, and it's a very glossy item. It's an item with no signs of use. It appears to be in beautiful Excellent condition, as if it has been stored in a cabinet unused. It's a beautiful item that doesn't seem like it's been around for over half a century✩.*˚ ※There are individual differences in subjectivity, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details m(_ _)m About Vintage and Antique Tableware Unlike recent items, small black spots, paint loss, and minor imperfections that are not noticeable from the manufacturing process are generally found in all vintage items. We hope you understand that these items have been loved for a long time and will continue to be used for many years to come.
