    Description

    Presented is a lovely 18th century Meissen porcelain serving dish. The dish is
    white with beautifully hand painted flowers, in vibrant shades of pink, purple,
    red, yellow, green and blue. The floral designs are very colorful and detailed,
    obviously done with a great eye for detail and with considerable skill. The rim
    of the dish is elegantly gilded.
    This piece is in great overall condition. The gilding around the rim is
    mostly intact, though there is some wear at one end of the dish, likely where it
    was typically held and picked up. There are no breaks and no repairs.
    The underside of the dish has the Meissen crossed swords mark in blue, as
    well as a sticker from Chicago retailer Marshall Field & Company, dating
    this piece circa 1790. We believe this piece to be slightly older, circa
    1750-1770.
    The dish measures about 10 by 7 by 1 3/4 inches, LxWxH.
    Weight: 14.8 oz (419.5 grams)
