This M & Z Austria bowl has outlasted the empire it was made in — anywhere from 115 to 140 years old, and still utterly beautiful.
Maker: M & Z Austria (Moritz Zdekauer)
Materials: Fine porcelain
Dimensions: 10" diameter
Origin: Altrohlau, Austria (now Stará Role, Czech Republic)
Era: Antique, 1884–1909 (dated by maker's mark)
Condition: Very good antique condition — three very small chips on underside of rim, photographed; not visible from front. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
A rare and meaningful gift for a serious collector of European antique porcelain, or for anyone who loves romantic, old-world elegance in their home.
Produced by Moritz Zdekauer (M&Z) in Austria between 1884 and 1909, this is a piece that collectors recognize immediately: the mark, used only during those twenty-five years, places it firmly in the golden age of Austrian porcelain export. The design is deceptively simple — pink roses scattered across a white ground — but the embossed body, the deeply scalloped rim, and the swirling gold gilding at the border make it a genuine work of decorative art.
