Antique Porcelain Flower Plate Daisy Roses Ribbons Applied Gold Pink Blue Green

Details

Sweet little antique plate, loose depiction of flowers in pink and green with a light blue ribbon intertwined with leaves and branches.

Backstamp: "Imperial Austria" and "Crown China" with a depiction of a crown and ribbon. This was the pottery mark of decorator/importer Bawo & Dotter. B&D bought blanks and had them decorated in their own workshops. This company was in business from 1883-1914.

The design appears to be applied with a combination of transfer design and hand painting.

Colors are saturated and clean.

Condition: a very sad hairline crack that radiates from one edge but doesn't go all the way across the plate, flea bite on the rim, wear to the applied gold design.

Measures: 6 inch diameter

Note on vintage and antique goods: these are antiques, at least 100 years old. There is no guarantee that these will wear as originally intended, it is the risk we take to enjoy unique pieces.
