Softpaste Scenic Saucer #3

This is a nice saucer dish made in France in the 18th century. The piece is made of soft paste porcelain and is hand painted with a nice landscape scene in the center in the typical Paris style. The scene is of a very nice quality and includes two buildings with mountains in the background as well as two people and a river in a landscape surrounding. The rim has a cobalt blue ground color with a gold leaf garland over that and a gold ring to either side of the blue. The shape and paste of the saucer reminds me of Sevres porcelain but it was not done by them. The translucency is green and it has typical moons to it showing it to be from the 18th century. Not sure as to the maker but definitely French from this period. The dish is in great condition with wear to the gilding. There is a strange line to the underside center but it is not a crack and is only superficial. Not sure what caused that but some sort of firing issue for sure. The piece is not marked at all so it is hard to figure out the exact maker. The saucer is 1.25 inches tall and 5.25 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $99
