Douglass, KS, USA, April 27, 2022 -- The Pickard collection of author Alan Reed and the

“This sale also features our largest ever grouping of Santa Claus items to sell at one public
auction,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “RS Prussia, along with an assortment of
other antiques, are sure to grab bidders’ attention. There are over 400 lots in total – all selling
at public auction without reserve. There’s also no buyer’s premium for those attending in
person when paying by cash or check.”
Royal Bayreuth is a unique, hard white-paste porcelain manufactured in Tettau, Germany,
mainly from 1795 through 1917. Marks on the bottom will help date the piece. Generally,
green marks were used from 1885 to 1902; blue marks (the most common) were used from
1902 until the late 1920s. Anytime you see the Royal Bayreuth logo, you’ll see 1794 as the
official date of commencement of operations.
Dinnerware, dining accessories, coffee and tea sets have been the company's main product
line through the years. Just as fascinating are the wide number of collector items the factory
has produced. Royal Bayreuth is enormously popular with collectors, and the pieces in the
Bob Gollmar collection are of the highest quality. Rare pieces will be featured in the auction,
helping to round out any serious collection.
