Made by Thomas, an independent subsidiary of Rosenthal. This mark was used between 1908 and 1939. 9 ¾" d. A softly hued hand painted rendering of George Washington’s home, Mt. Vernon graces the center of the plate. The gold rimmed border is surrounded by an inner gold rimmed flower border and enhanced with a third gold filigree border. Gold is in very good condition. There are three 1/16" – 1/8" obvious worn spots on the painting. The back mark indicates this was part of the Sevres series, and also shows the decorator’s name of Tatler, plus the number 550. Excellent condition. (288E)
