Khedive Single Saucer - As Is

This is an rare saucer made by Richard Ginori in the later 19th century - pre 1896. It is hand painted with a famous decoration designed by Gaetano Lodi between 1873 and 1875 for the Egyptian Khedive ( Viceroy during the Turkish occupation) which looks quite stunning and is definitely very Egyptian :) They made a few more pieces later on but they are extremely rare and very much collected due to the obviously stunning design. The saucer is decorated with a very colorful version with the red, green, yellow,and gold colors along the rim and a thin gold ring around the well. While the saucer displays nicely, it sadly ahs two hairlines along the rim as shown. I do have the matching cup in perfect condition if anyone would like a set with some nice history to it that looks amazing! The dish is marked underneath with a green Ginori mark used from 1868 until 1903 with the letter D as well as the red Ginori Italy mark under a stylized crown with the pattern number 1027 under it as shown. It is definitely pre 1896 because there is no Richard with the mark yet. The saucer is 0.75 inches tall with a diameter of 5.875 inches! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
