Remembering Mom's Favorite Collection: R.S. Prussia

Sunday May 3, 2009
One of the things that brought my mom so much joy was the collecting passion she handed down to me, and for more than 25 years or so R.S. Prussia porcelain took center stage with her. She loved the delicate feel of the porcelain, the interesting mold shapes, and the way it was beautifully decorated. But like so many of her favorite antiques and collectibles, she also appreciated its history and the fact that a good number of pieces survived to make up her collection. Take a look at R.S. Prussia - Remarkable Porcelain, to learn about what makes this porcelain stand out. The Countess Potocka coffee pot shown here was always one of her very favorites.

I’m looking for information on an Everett Plectra-Phone piano, dated 1894, serial # 21199. I can’t find anything. Can you help me?
Thanks, Sharon

Hi there, That’s not one that I’m familiar with. You might want to post your query on the forum here on the site. Or, you can check out the resources for online appraisals here on the site. There are some that offer very reasonable assessments and valuations. Best, Pam

I have a large pitcher and 2 dishes made by RS. Stamped into the bottom of each dish is a number. They have the typical red RS surrounded by the 3-pronged wreath. Is there some way I could find out their worth? I live in AZ now.
