This is a beautiful Rosenthal RC Bavaria vase with hand painted poppies and gold trim along the inside rim.  The white outlines in the flowers are raised.  This is marked as shown in the pictures and I believe would date this from 1901 to 1940.  It is signed on the bottom by ‘E Ruff’ and I think ’11’ which could date this to 1911.  This vase had been in one family.   This stands 11 inches and is 3 inches in diameter at the opening and at the base.   The vase in in very good condition with no chips or nicks but there is wear to the gold in the inside rim.   I have tried to capture the condition in the pictures.  You cannot get much better than an antique Rosenthal vase!  But if this isn’t your favorite be sure to check out my shop, not2shabbyshop, for great vintage finds.   

Thanks for looking at this beautiful vase!
