There are no markings on this decorated (possibly Victorian) Porcelain Invalid Feeder and the shape & decor suggests a renowned maker. Would anyone recognize the decor/shape/workmanship on it and be able to supply some info. I have had others in the past but they were the ordinary German/Austrian ones with red crosses on them. This one measure 3" tall by 5" long (spout included) by 4" wide (includes handle). It has a Cabbage Leaf design with delicate hand-painted flowers over the glaze. Thanks everyone, RER(BOB)
Your invalid feeder was made by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch porcelain Company (RS Prussia to collectors) in the mid 1890's. The mold is commonly called the overlapping shell mold. It was used for all kinds of tableware.
Thank you very much rjkinkent....I would have never known since it wasn't marked in any fashion. I assumed that the form would have been quite special and would help in it's identification. Thank you also geo26e, vetraio50, aghcollect, mikelv85, antiques-in-nj and ttomtucker for the Love, RER(BOB)
