Austrian Hand Painted & Gold

Collectibles : China, Porcelain : Plate : Hand Painted

 

This hand painted plate features purple and white flower which has 3 large flowing petals. Each leaf and petal is outlined with gold. The leaves are a mint green.

The gold rich rim is the background the flowers. Th.e rim is scalloped with raised "waves". The plate is signed but is worn and I cannot make out the signature. PT Bavaria, Hand Painted is the maker's mark. The plates is dated between 1900-1920.

The size is 8 1/2"D. No chips, cracks or crazing. The only flaw is to the gold to the right of the plate. It looks as if something diluted an area and the gold has a spot of darker gold.
