Stunning Antique R.C. Rosenthal "Malmaison" Individual Porcelain Teapot & LidUp for sale is a beautiful, authentic individual-sized lidded teapot crafted by Rosenthal China (R.C.) in Bavaria, Germany. Featuring the highly collectible and elegantly ruffled "Malmaison" blank shape, this piece is decorated with a vibrant, hand-painted pink briar rose motif and delicate gold filigree.
Based on the green underglaze factory backstamp, this specific piece was manufactured between 1891 and 1906, making it a true antique that is over 120 years old. It features a handwritten decorator/production mark "39" on the base.📏 Approximate Dimensions:
• Height: 5 inches (to the top of the lid finial)
• Width: 6 inches (measured cleanly from the edge of the pouring spout to the outermost edge of the handle)🔍 Condition Report:
This piece is in excellent antique structural condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines, or crazing. The original lid is fully intact and fits beautifully.
• The Rim & Spout: The intricate, lace-like gold filigree along the scalloped rim and spout remains exceptionally bright, crisp, and well-preserved.
• The Handle: Shows honest, typical gold rubbing and thinning along the outer ridges from handling over the decades (please see the dedicated close-up photo). The gold here was applied using a mottled sponge/stipple technique, but there is clear, natural handling wear to the gilt surface.This individual-serving teapot is a scarcer find than the full-sized variants and makes an exquisite addition to any Rosenthal Malmaison collection, tea-for-one display, or Victorian-era aesthetic layout.Please review all macro photos carefully as they serve as the final baseline for condition.
