Elegant vintage hand-painted covered vegetable dish produced by Z.S. & C. of Bavaria, featuring bold floral decoration and classic gold-tone handles. A beautifully crafted mid-century German porcelain serving piece with strong decorative presence.
This oval lidded tureen showcases expressive hand-painted florals in rich red, green, and golden yellow tones on a softly iridescent porcelain ground. The underside bears the Z.S. & C. Bavaria mark, a respected German porcelain manufacturer active in the early to mid-20th century. The form, glazing, and decoration are consistent with post-war mid-century Bavarian export porcelain, made for both serving and display.
