Description

CARLSBAD CHINA
Kaiserin Maria Theresia
VINTAGE 1900's AUSTRIAN DINNERWARE
GRAVY BOAT
Here is an auction for a USED Kaiserian Maria Theresia China dinnerware item. This antique piece is white and rimmed with lovely small pink and blue roses, flanked by gold trim. The inner trim has two thin gold lines. The outer trim is thick gold with burgandy markings. A close up photo of the pattern is shown below.
Carlsbad (also spelled Karlsbad) is a city in Czechoslovakia. The city   name was used in the backstamp on the china made by several factories in Germany, Austria, and Bavaria during the late 1800s and early 1900s.  This piece has the seven-point crown mark of Carlsbad China made in Austria.
This item is in very good condition with no major chips, cracks, or crazing. It was a donated estate item given to our church in an effort to raise money to help the needy. I am selling a number of these items so see my other auctions if you need different pieces.
I am not an expert in chinaware but have inspected each piece as carefully as possible
and they are all in
good
vintage
condition meaning that, in general, there will be some wear to the gold trim. The innermost gold line is usually worn to some degree  and there may be some worn spots on the middle line or on the edge of the outermost gold trim.  Being a 100+ old used item there may be tiny defects & small scratches from usage but, otherwise, this century-old piece is wonderfully preserved.
This can be displayed on a wall or shelf, or can be an eclectic piece to grace your table with delectable   candies & desserts, or used to replace broken items from this hard to obtain pattern. In all situations,  this lovely antique Austrian piece will bring beauty and elegance to your home.
These items ARE NOT dishwasher safe and require hand washing.
I AM SELLING OTHER CHINA FROM THIS AND OTHER COLLECTIONS. FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES THE DISKS CAN BE SHIPPED TOGETHER TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS.
THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE GRAVY BOAT which measures 7" x 4" and stands 3" tall.
CLOSE UP OF DESIGN ON ONE OF THE MATCHING PLATES, SOME WEAR & FADING OF THE GOLD TRIM IS EXPECTED IN CHINA OF THIS AGE.
THE GOLD LINE IS FAIRLY WELL PRESERVED ON THE GRAVY BOAT WITH ONLY MILD WEAR, THERE IS MODERATE WEAR OF THE GOLD LINES ON THE HANDLES.
