Story
During the mid-20th century, American porcelain reached a global stage when studios like Boehm were chosen to create official diplomatic gifts for U.S. Presidents to take abroad.
Maker / Origin
Edward Marshall Boehm was a self-taught naturalist and sculptor who founded his studio in 1950.
Condition & Value
The piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips to the fragile petal edges or leaf tips. While Boehm is a prestigious name, the market for traditional porcelain florals is currently stable but modest.
