Manufacturer: Hutschenreuther China
A pair of very pretty bread & butter plates made by Hutschenreuther in their Portland pattern. These are vintage pieces out of a home, we are not certain of the age, but they are not new.
Each of the two plates are round, measuring about 6 1/2 inches in diameter and sit about 1/4 inch in height. They are made of china or porcelain (they are translucent). This pattern has a bright white base plate with decor around the outer rim before ending with a gold line trim. The pattern is somewhat geometric with lots of nice pink roses & green leaves, gray curlicues, a yellow dot pattern and little circles & lined trim. Very upscale and elegant looking, which could be mixed not only with matching Portland pattern pieces but also other plates incorporating pink roses in their design.
These vintage small plates are each fully marked on the backside in green stamping "Hutschenreuther Selb" under which appears the company's lion graphic in an oval with "LHS", then "Bavaria" beneath this (which means they were made in Germany). The Portland Pattern name is stamped in blue with the "58" in a dark gold (the "58" could indicate the person who hand applied the gold trim). On one of the plates there is also an impressed "16". For shipping, the two plates together weigh a tad over 11 1/4 ounces unpacked.
We've provided 8 images to show both older plates together and individually, with close-ups of the pattern and the manufacturer marking. We've shot the images both with and without the camera lighting since there was such a high reflection off the white smooth porcelain. The overall images are shot without the camera light (although they still show white "hot spots" reflecting the room lighting), with the lighting used for the close-ups. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Very nice overall vintage condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. These appear lightly used as we only see some light small occasional scratches if you look very closely at an angle in bright light, nothing bad. The coloring and pattern are in great shape, but with expected light wear in spots on the pattern including some missing touches of pink on some of the roses (while some of this is likely use/cleaning wear over time, some of this may also be as originally made, we're not sure, since these older pieces often had transfer misses in manufacture). There are a few raised bumps in the top glazing on the plates, some tiny pin/pit/dark dots, expected darkening on the underside rim on which these sit, and other general light age/use wear, but nothing to worry about here. These have survived well and are in great shape to use or display. |
