Two sprigs of green leaves on a thin branch repeat on both sides, against porcelain ribbed lengthwise in the melon form typical of the Victorian-influenced shapes Mitterteich favored. Backstamped “Mitterteich Bavaria, Green Leaves, Germany 018.” Hand washing strongly recommended.
An elegant, understated piece for a formal breakfast tray or a shelf of Bavarian porcelain.
Mitterteich's restraint set it apart from more ornately decorated Bavarian houses of the same era, and the Green Leaves pattern is a clear example of that quieter design philosophy.
A thoughtful gift for the European porcelain collector or anyone who appreciates restraint as a design choice.
