A rare 19th Century Meissen Plate decorated privately with birds and insects:
$225.00

For sale is a really nice dinner plate made by Meissen in the early part of the 19th century. It is hand painted with scene of birds and various insects and has a very elaborate border.
Research has shown as indicated by my exhibits that is was not decorated at the factory but by one of the workshops in nearby Dresden, I refer to the Christie's sale of a very similar partial dinner service. You can see the one strike mark etched over the crossed swords mark on the back of the plate that tells you it was not decorated at the factory. My examples give you an indication of value.
The plate is 1 1/18" inches tall and a little over 9 3/8 inches in diameter. Other than some paint loss on the border there are no other defects to this rare plate. From the Collection of E. F. Hutton.
