Marked Scenic Plate #4

This is a superb and fairly early scenic plate made by Niderviller around 1775. It is hand painted with a superb scene in the center of a gentleman sitting neat a lake fishing with another in a boat on the lake in a landscape surrounding. There is a house with a fence as well as some building in the background and a large tree. I think the colors of their scenes are among the nicest in the porcelain world and the quality is superb! The rim has three single flowers to it and the edge has since indentations to it to give it that extra flair. The plate is marked with their under glaze blue CC mark under a crown for the Count Custine period I believe was from 1770 until 1784. There is also an incised mark as shown. The piece is 1.625 inches tall and 9.5 inches in diameter. The plate is in great condition with some manufacturing flaws near the edge, the largest looks to be a popped glaze bubble or impurity that fired away during the firing process as shown. It displays nicely and these things happen on early porcelain, they are not considered damage but manufacturing flaws. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $349
