Unique Porcelain Collectibles
Recently a fine porcelain collectible vase was found while looking around the vast selection of merchandise. This vase is a beautiful, exquisite porcelain collectible in excellent condition.

Located among many other vases, glassware, dishes, kitchen accessories and household items, a perfect Kaiser vase was found. Some research of Kaiser revealed that this vase was made in West Germany. The production of porcelain vases, as well as other pieces, began with August Alboth who was an embellisher of fine porcelain that started a business of his own in 1872 in Bavaria, Germany. He wanted his business to be known for porcelain products of the highest quality. Each piece was molded and crafted by hand as no machine could ever match the quality and appearance of his skilled artisans. His porcelain gifts and accessories were designed creations fit for connoisseurs. His work has flourished for over 135 years.
On the porcelain vase, the surface was molded with a garden of flowing vines and leaves with raised poppy designs of intricate details. The exterior is in a soft, white bisque and the interior in a glossy white glaze.
It has a square design which is also a rarity of the design.
The base, as shown in this photo, has an impressed crown with AK beneath it with Kaiser W Germany in blue ink. The numbers 548/24 is also impressed in the right corner of the base.
This unique vase measures 9 1/2" high and width is 2 1/2" at base. The vase has a square design with rounded corners and curved top which measures 4" across. It is in excellent condition and is a rare and valuable find.
