"WHITE and PINK ROSES" LIMOGES MASTERPIECE Antique Hand Painted Cake Plate ~ Handled Serving Tray Signed by BLANCHE LENZI Norristown PA Respected Talented Favorite of All Victorian Roses Artists Original Handpainted Floral Artwork on French Porcelain

This masterful portrait of Roses is true visual decadence, with so many variations of shadow tones, it is nearly impossible to describe each one. With every stroke of the brush, gorgeous rose petals come to life with such fluttering depth, one can nearly feel the softness against one's nose as one bends to inhale the sweet rose scent. These roses are just incredible, with white enameled highlights adding shimmer to the petals' edge. Leaves and branches are exquisite as well, painted in wonderful shades of green against a buttery yellow and cream background. Gorgeous Roman Gold adorns the plate's beautiful embossed porcelain edges ~ with perfect shaped serving handles that adds true grace to the overwhelming beauty of this piece. This is an heirloom to treasure, and a stunning, classic rendering of the humbling beauty of the rose.

Excellent condition, sterling quality, with china painting well preserved within its lustrous glass overglaze finish, no chips, cracks, hairlines, flea bites, surface scratches, repairs, paint or gold loss. I do note for accuracy purposes 3 pin point size paint flakes that in no way distract or take away from this outstanding beauty. Measuring 9 7/8" x 10 3/4" in Diameter ~ LIMOGES FLORAL FINE ART CAKE PLATE or SERVING TRAY. The back-stamp underneath bears the William Guerin Company underglaze white ware mark 2 in green "WG & Co" Limoges France., used before 1891 – 1900. Please email me if you have any questions.
