VOLKSTEDT Large - 10× 14" Bowl Butterflies Flowers Germany GDR Vintage PERFECT

This stunning porcelain bowl has absolutely no signs of having been used. No scratches or utensil marks. No chips or cracks. Zero loss of gold application on rim and handles. The backstamp was in use only between 1958 and 1976. At 9.75" x 14.25", it is the largest piece in the series that I have seen. About 2" deep. Made in the East German Volkstedt porcelain factory. Heavy embossing or relief on the entire top surface give the piece a decidedly formal aspect, but the butterflies and florals balance the ornate design and give it a modern look, I think. Thank you so much for taking a peek inside my closet.
