Fantastic old (19th c) Meissen reticulated deep plate or bowl (may be a fruit plate). This piece is 8 inches in diameter and 1¼ inches deep, is decorated with hand-painted flowers and the reticulated rim is gilded (with all of the gold in excellent condition). Between the reticulated portions of the rim are 3 quatrafoils that are both gilded on their borders and raised along their edges relative to their centers, where there are delicate sprays of flowers. What is not terribly apparent in the pictures is that the gold trimmed lattice work between the center well of the plate and its rim, is also raised a bit. This has the blue underglazed German Meissen crossed swords mark, and is impressed with the numbers 14 and 156. The detail is wonderful on this fine porcelain plate and it is in excellent condition.

| I have several of these plates for sale and each one is the same size, shape, etc., but has slightly different combinations of flowers and slight variations on the impressed numbers; the one for sale here is the first one pictured. The close-up (third picture) is to show you details of this fine porcelain and may not be of this specific plate. |
