Art Nouveau Plate #1

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 an orange and purple blossom design with the leaves of the flowers forming the sides of the design. The rim is painted with a nice grey 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 set of five of them in different colors all from the original period with the 19th century blue shield and crown mark. The plate is 1.125 inches tall and 8.25 inches in diameter. It is in superb 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, some red numbers and a letter as well as Gesetzlich geschuetzt (copyright) in a red rectangle as shown. It also has the impressed shield mark with the star above it used from 1890 until 1905. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
