~Rosenquist Art-Porcelains~ many exquisite 'One-of-a-Kind' Masterpieces Handpainted over a Century ago by Victorian Artists
LARGE CAKE PLATE NEARLY 12" DIAMETER
'FRENCH FLORAL ART c.1900. A harmonious palette of soft French blues, pinks and magenta-deepening-to-burgundy graces this sophisticated antique hand painted Limoges Floral Art Cake Plate. The handles of this vintage Charger are embellished with burnished Roman Gold, which was referred to as 'Coin Gold' in the 19th Century, especially in vintage china catalogs.This is a century old porcelain art painting created in Limoges, France by a professional Parisian china painter who signed the artwork: 'DE MORIS'. It was originally painted during late the 19th Century Victorian Period, or early 20th Century Edwardian Era.
A great work of art, like a great piece of music, takes you somewhere. This lovely large cake plate, with its wide gold scalloped band and boldly colored floral arrangement transports us to Paris in the Springtime, where artists and their easels line the Seine in the shadow of the majestic Cathedral of Notre Dame. Walking along there, one sees many of these bright and splashy floral scenes, brazen in their color schemes, taking shape on artists' easels in the late afternoon sun. To us, this beautifully painted plate, with its deep ruby, pink, violet and silver blue, captures the color and vibrancy that is the heart of that wonderful city. The flowers nearly pounce at you with enthusiasm, giving an exuberant face to the 'joie de vivre' of this china artist from 100 years ago. This is a striking and dramatic piece in both size and subject, and makes a delightfully cheerful display piece, as seen in our vertical string plate display, which is a very effective way to display antique hand painted plates.
