Original Bunzlau figure as mini cheese bell / butter dish – Belze, ca. 1950s–60s

Beautiful vintage figurine as a mini cheese dome in hand-painted faience from Belze – Original Bunzlau, West Germany, approx. 1950–60s. Decorated in classic Bunzlau style with a cobalt blue "peacock eye" pattern on cream-white glaze. Light faience with a fine, authentic patina.

The tradition originates from Bunzlau (today Bolesławiec, Poland), where this characteristic blue decoration was developed in the 19th century. After World War II, West German workshops like Belze continued the original Bunzlau tradition – hence the designation "Original Bunzlau".

Stamped Belze and Original Bunzlau inside. Underneath, an old hotel sticker from Alpenhotel Heimspitze – Familie Thöny, Montafon (Austria), typical for hotel ceramics of that time. But under the sticker, the original Belze stamp.
