This antique square bowl, by the Count Thun Factory (Thun-Klosterle) in Bohemia, is hand-painted with rust, bronze, beige, and gold florals, raised moriage dots on the smaller blooms, and embossed shells at each corner — a rare survivor from one of Europe's most storied porcelain houses.

  • Maker: Count Thun Factory (Thun-Klosterle), Bohemia
  • Retailer/Importer: Leonard Vienna (P. H. Leonard)
  • Pattern: Leonard Vienna #7612 (per Replacements.com; possibly not the original mold number)
  • Materials: Porcelain, hand-painted, moriage raised dots
  • Dimensions: 4.0" tall x approx. 8.5" x 8.5" square (at widest point)
  • Origin: Klösterle, Bohemia (now Klášterec nad Ohří, Czech Republic)
  • Era: Antique, 19th century (circa 1830–1889)
  • Condition: Excellent antique condition. No chips, cracks, or scratches found. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

Not recommended for food use, given the possibility of lead in antique glazes — but beautiful as a jardinière for orchids or other flowers, or simply as standalone decor. A true find for the serious antique porcelain collector.

This bowl carries two marks: an impressed TK mark — for Thun, Klosterle, the Count's surname and the factory's location — used from roughly 1830 to 1889, along with the number 25 (possibly indicating 1825); and a blue stamp for Leonard Vienna, the retail mark of P. H. Leonard, an importer known to have carried Count Thun's porcelain until his bankruptcy in 1898. There's also an impressed eight-pointed cross, likely an older or variant factory mark. The Count Thun Factory was founded in 1794 in Klösterle, Bohemia, by Johann Nikolaus Weber with financing from Count Franz Joseph von Thun und Hohenstein, and became one of the region's most important porcelain producers. Nationalized in 1945, the company continued for decades as Thun 1794 — the oldest and largest Czech porcelain manufacturer — until its original Klášterec factory closed in September 2023.
