Reticulated King's Service Plate

This is a reticulated plate made by Nymphenburg right around 1900. It is one from the Kings or Pearl service made for the electoral court around 1792-1795 designed originally by Dominikus Auliczek. The original set is still in the possession of the family and thus any pieces of this design are later copies. What makes this plate quite special compared to many others is the reticulated edge which is not easy to find plus it is a fairly early piece compared to most one sees. The plate is 12 sided and of the perl design (refers to the little blue pearls on the rim). Hand painted with a scene in black in the center as well as a superb gold and blue trim. The plate is 1 inch tall and 9 inches in diameter. Marked with the underglaze shield mark with the word Nymphenburg underneath. GERMANY in a red rectangle, an impressed shield mark as well as the usual black numbers as shown. The word Fasanerie is written on the back as well which refers to what the scene depicts on the front. Fasanerie is where they kept the pheasants. The plate is in great condition with some very minor wear. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $999
