Schmidt & Co.

Three 8" table plates dating from 1904 to 1918. From the Victoria Schmidt and Co., Altrohlau, in Bohemia, Austria (now the Czech Republic). This was a large facility producing a variety of utility porcelain. All are in excellent condition and represent a historical bridge to turn of the century household tastes. The Victorian influence was in decline but period etiquette dictated fine quality china be used for formal occasions and Sunday dining. These lack importer marks so we can not be certain of the sales train, but porcelains were readily obtainable and any aspiring homemaker seeking social acceptance would own similar items.
