Vintage Portrait Plate - Presidential - Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln - FREE Shipping

Collectibles : Historical : Presidential : Mrs. Lincoln

 

= A rare First Lady portrait plate, this one of Mary Todd Lincoln, is unmarked but made by Imperial China. I had another similar plate of First Lady Frances Cleveland, sold here not long ago in my shop, which was clearly marked from Imperial China. The two plates were the same style and shape. Both are from the early 20th century.

This 6" x 6" plate shows Mrs.Lincoln in portrait and in good detail. It is surrounded by a unusual peach lustre, drawing the eye to her picture as the central image. The outside edge of this eight-sided plate has a heavy gold rim, which is in Very Good Condition. An additional band of gold surrounds her portrait. Both gold bands are hand painted.

This vintage plate is in Very Good Condition, with no chips, cracks or hairlines. The First Lady is wearing an off-shoulder dress which shows her choker necklace, and she has flowers woven in her hair.

Lovely President-associated vintage plate, not easy to find. Mrs. Lincoln is uncommon as the primary subject of collectible vintage china.
