5 pretty German Popplesdorf (Bonn) plates 22cm across and 2cm high.

These bear the mark for Ludwig Wessel which was used from 1880 to 1910 and a pattern or decorators number. They are in reasonable condition for their age, the rims were once heavily gilded but most of it has worn away which makes them look better than they would have when they were new, in my opinion! The very pretty design of flowers has been hand coloured and each one is slightly different.

2 of the plates are in good condition, one has a rim chip, one has a hairline and one has damage to the decoration from knifemarks. They still display very well and would be wonderful on a dresser.
