Armorial Plate w/Views Of Berlin #2

This is a really nice plate made by KPM around 1840. The plate is superbly hand painted with a large and fancy armorial in the center in mainly blue and gold. It has a lion holding a key, a princess holding some flowers and a knight holding a flag and cross to the top part, three crowned knight helmets below that a large crown with jewels below that and the coat of arms in a shield form including the lion holding a key, a knight on top of a horse, a bridge over a river and another lion holding a cross. Probably made for a wedding of some importance. I think this sort of crown is for a Count or Countess ( Graf oder Gräfin ). The rim has the Reliefzierat mit Spalier design to it - a molded relief design to the borders with a delicate trellis artwork in the form of flowering branches in gold. In between this design are three catouches with very detailed hand painted scene from the city of Berlin. One of the scenes has the Lange Brücke in Berlin which is a historic road and tram bridge located in the Treptow-Köpenick district of the city, crossing the Dahme river. Another scene shows the Getreide Magazin in Berlin ( grain storehouse) but I cannot find a good match so I am unsure which building this refers to and if it still stands. The third scene is of Münze in Berlin refers to what is now known as the Königliche Münze Berlin at the Werderscher Markt which was designed by Heinrich Gentz around 1798 and in use from 1800 until 1886. It was later torn down and does not exist anymore. Three superb scenes plus an armorial and some superb gold work make this a very special plate. The plate is in superb condition with just a touch of minor wear but it is as nice as they come especially for almsot 200 years old! It looks amazing and has everything going for it! The plate is marked underneath with the under glaze blue KPM under a scepter mark used from 1837 until 1844 plus a red dots as a painter's mark and the red orb mark as shown. Impressed number 34 and three lines along the foot ring as shown. Each scene is labelled in the back in black German script as shown. The plate is 1.5 inches tall and 10.25 inches in diameter so a very nice size! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
