Manufacturer: as described
Beautifully detailed, hand painting on this pair of porcelain plaques. Each plaque measures 15 3/4" tall by 8 3/4" wide. Total size with frame 18 1/2" by 10 1/2". European in origin, circa 1880, unmarked. Both plaques are signed by the artist, one in the lower left corner, the other in the lower right corner. The scenes are elegant ladies of the period, dressed in their finest. One appears to be outside of a church or chapel, carrying a rosary. The other appears to be opening a letter of gift, and is wearing a chatelaine. The plaque at the chapel has one long crack, running horizontally across the piece (about 2" up from the bottom), and glued together.

The fortunate thing is that the crack is not tremendously noticeable from the front. A professional restoration would easily make this invisible. (#T-1070)
