SOLD Meissen Antique Gilded Cabinet Plate Ca. 1854-1924 Magnificent White and Gold

Porcelain : Antique : Meissen

 

For your consideration I am pleased to present another gorgeous antique Meissen porcelain plate or bowl. The most imitated porcelain in the world continues to fascinate me with the exquisite beauty that each piece makes available as a feast for the eyes! Just feast your eyes on this beautiful piece of "white gold" as Meissen porcelain is often called! This magnificent piece was manufactured between 1854-1924 based on the mark that is on this piece, the crossed swords with the pommels on the bottom. I think that it says much about how highly prized Meissen has always been because of the care taken in preserving these wonderful pieces.

This lovely piece measures 11 inches in diameter and stands 1.75 inches high. It also has a number 45, and has been signed in the slip--to the best of my ability to read it "yzazoc", which I cannot help but think may have been the person who prepared this beauty for it's initial firing. There are no cracks, chips or crazing. There is some wear to the gilding as can be shown in the photos.

Absolutely a fabulous piece to add to any collection. The way the light plays on these pieces that are gilded is just spectacular. Meissen has a whiteness to it that is special in my eye, and the gilding just glows forth from it.
