Roses evoke such a romantic or nostalgic sentiment in so many of us, and the deep, rich red roses that were hand painted on this 9” diameter Rosenthal plate are certainly executed well enough bring such sentiments to us. The roses are painted on a background of green with a tinge of blue and a few yellow highlights. In addition to the skillful painting on the plate, the actual porcelain blank that the artist painted on is beautiful itself. It has reticulated areas, scalloped flourishes, and some ribbing – all of which are accented in gold paint; I believe the name of the blank is Lion D’or, which appears on the back of the plate with the maker’s mark. There is one mystery to the piece, however. I searched all over the plate for a signature and never could find one, but then I don’t think the artist was actually through with the piece. To the left of the largest rose is a faint, almost phantom, image of an opening rosebud. Did the artist intend for this to be so faint? Is it symbolic of something, or did the artist simply never get the plate finished? The faint rose doesn’t detract from the beauty and artistry of the rest of the work, but it is a puzzle. The plate is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. I've shown the plate displayed on a simple pine background and a more formal off-white background to show that it goes well in country as well as formal settings.

This would be a great addition to your art or porcelain collection. Please contact us if you have any questions.
