Green Art Nouveau Floral Plate

This is a superb plate made by Nymphenburg in the late 19th century during the original period for this design. It is hand painted with a very stunning Art Nouveau design that reminds me of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting but this dates to right about when she was born. The center is white with a green and yellow blossom design with the leaves of the flowers forming the sides of the design. The rim is painted with a nice green ground color with streaks going in from the edge and three reticulated sections highlighted with gold trim with three smaller gold designs near the edge. Gold trim to the edge. These pieces are not easy to find and I really enjoy them. I have a few pieces in different colors from this series all from the original period with the 19th century blue shield and crown mark. The plate is 1 inch tall and 8.375 inches in diameter. It is in great condition with just a touch of wear/use marks to the gilding. As nice as they come! The dish is marked underneath with the blue shield mark under a crown as well as the word Nymphenburg under that used around 1894 as well as some numbers and a letter as shown. Someone scratched an area underneath presumably where it said gesetzlich geschuetzt (copyright). Not sure why. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $499
