Antique Franz Bischoff Hand Painted Decorative Plate
For sale is an antique Franz Bischoff limoges porcelain tray. c: 1892-1907. Signed legibly: Franz A. Bischoff on display left side. Green backstamp on back: T&V France, (mark 5a, pg. 193, M. Gaston's book). Gorgeous tray with pierced handles; 10.5 x 10 inches. No flaws detected on front display side; backside reveals possible small professional repairs when looking at it under a black light. Two small areas, (one is about 3/4 inch; other is less than a pea size), show up as 'white' under the blacklight. This could just be where the porcelain is thinner, or they could be repairs. In any case, if they are repairs, whomever did it was a pro; and they were likely just very minor surface flakes off the porcelain. Frontside has one area on the gold that is a bit lighter, (very tiny spot), but nothing shows up under the blacklight. The painting on this tray is superb; the faces of the figurines are wonderful. Bischoff was one of the premier porcelain artists in the 19th, early 20th C; known for his famous roses and later landscapes. Since none of the 'flaws', if they are indeed real flaws, are visible from front display side; and not really detectible from back unless looking at it under a strong light or blacklight, I consider them minor. It is a true one of a kind work of art. This would make a fabulous luxury gift! (cashier's check only; shipping to continental USA destinations only; shipping and insurance is additional and will be arranged after purchase).
Circa: 1892-1907
