Exquisite Decorative CHARGER PLATE 12" Diameter from Prussia P. Donath & Company, Hand Decorated FLOWERS w/GOLD and WHITE HIGHLIGHTING, GOLD Band on Rim w/GOLD FLORAL GARLAND, circa 1910-1916
DESCRIPTION: This beautiful 12" charger plate was hand painted using the gold on satin white color palette with white, green, pink and red. The white flowers with pink highlights are enhanced with white raised paint. The flowers are nestled in their green and red leaves. The trim on the smooth rim is gold. Next to the gold trim on the rim is a scalloped hanging garland of gold flowers. The back of the plate is a high white porcelain. There is a hole drilled through the foot on the back of the plate to assist in using as a wall hanging.
CONDITION: While this plate is classified as used, the condition is superb. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches, crazing or hairlines. There is no wear on the paint. The gold on the rim has very minor age appropriate wear for the 107+ year old charger. See the photos.
DIMENSIONS: The charger plate has a diameter of 12" and a height of 1 1/2".
HISTORY/MARKS: This factory was founded by Louis Lowinsohn in 1885 and acquired by P. Donath in 1891. He left the factory in 1916. It continued as Tiefenfurth Silesian Porcelain Factory from 1916-1919 when it was acquired by Carl Hans Tuppack in 1919. It closed in 1935. The red mark on the back of this charger is cited by the website marks4ceramics as mark #7 used 1910-1916.
