"Antique J & C‎ Bavaria Germany Porcelain – Hand‑Decorated Gold‑Gilt Lily/Floral

Up for your consideration: a charming set of four porcelain pieces from J & C Bavaria (Germany), richly decorated in gold‑gilt floral/lily motif and signed with E.L. Rowland. Maker: J & C Bavaria (also known as Jaeger & Co) — mark shown in photographs. Decoration: White porcelain bodies featuring elegant botanical motif (what appear to be lilies) in gold‑gilt, with gold rim detailing. Signature: Hand‑written E.L. Rowland on underside of plates (see photos). Set format: 2 saucers/tea plates + 2 matching cups Condition: Please review photos carefully. Approximate Age: Based on the J & C mark (green J & C Bavaria under‑glaze) this type of porcelain typically dates from the early 20th century (circa 1898‑1923). Reason for Signature: The E.L. Rowland signature indicates a decorator or previous owner's mark, adding unique provenance though it is not a known factory signature tied to J & C's documented decorators (to the best of current research). Presentation: Beautiful items for display, tea service, or collector's cabinet—especially with the gold gilt and signature adding character. PROVENANCE & HISTORICAL NOTES J & C Bavaria (Jaeger & Co) was a well‑known porcelain manufacturer in Marktredwitz (Bavaria), Germany, and pieces marked J & C Bavaria in green typically date from the late 19th to early 20th century. These pieces, therefore, combine documented maker mark + hand decoration + signature—an appealing trio for many collectors.
