Hand-painted porcelain charger plate with pink roses and gilt border by Carl Tielsch, Altwasser, Germany

Carl Tielsch & Co. operated in Altwasser, Silesia (now Wałbrzych, Poland) from 1845 to 1945, producing fine porcelain tableware and decorative pieces. The company was known for its high-quality hand-painted floral designs, particularly roses, which were popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. These charger plates were often displayed rather than used for dining, showcasing the artistry of the period. Porcelain chargers with hand-painted roses and elaborate gilt borders are highly sought after by collectors of antique European porcelain, Victorian decorative arts enthusiasts, and those who appreciate fine hand-painted ceramics. These pieces appeal to collectors for their artistic merit, historical significance as examples of Silesian porcelain craftsmanship, and their decorative value as elegant wall hangings or display pieces that capture the romantic aesthetic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
