Turkish Scene Plate

This is an unusual plate made by one of the Paris makers around 1800 likely made for the Turkish market. It is nicely handpainted with a large scene in the center of a Turkish scene (the seller had another plate that was in worse shape with the crescent moon and star on top of the building) including a camel or dromedary in front of a building I believe to be an old mosque with the minaret. A really neat and usual scene. Lots of palm trees somehow give you the feeling of being right there :) The rim has some fancy gilding to it with a shield and the initials PD or DP in it. The plate is in great condition with some wear from stacking, two spots of flaking of the paint on the little people in the scene and an unimportant chip to the footring underneath. It is unmarked except for what looks to be an incised script letter which is common for Paris pieces of this time period. The plate is 1 inch tall and 8.625 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
