Vintage 1920s Gemma China Crested Ware "Coal Scuttle" Miniature (Prestatyn Crest)

A beautifully detailed piece of Welsh seaside memorabilia. This antique crested china miniature is molded into the nostalgic shape of a traditional fireside coal scuttle, proudly featuring the striking red Welsh dragon heraldic coat of arms for the historic coastal resort town of Prestatyn.

Manufactured by the celebrated Schmidt & Company under their specialized export trade name, Gemma. The underside of the pedestal base displays the authentic green crown-and-shield trademark alongside a hand-painted factory mold number "544", dating its production to the interwar period (circa 1920s). Gemma pieces are highly valued by collectors for their smooth, fine-glazed Bohemian porcelain. It weighs 37g, its measurements are 4cm width, 8cm length, and 7cm height. In excellent vintage condition, completely flawless, free of chips, hairline cracks, or repairs.

Fireside novelty shapes like coal scoops were a favorite amongst interwar holidaymakers. Preserved in immaculate condition with its fragile top handle fully intact, this cabinet-ready curiosity makes a wonderful addition for collectors of Welsh history, Gemma porcelain, or vintage heraldic miniatures. Collectible, Collector's item.
