Baranowka Plate #3

This is a very rare porcelain dinner plate made in Poland by Baranowka in the early 19th century. Baranowka was founded by Michel Mezer in 1801. The porcelain was deemed equal to that of the Imperial factory of St. Petersburg and thus they were allowed to use the imperial eagle as their mark. Michel died in 1820 after which the factory rapidly declined and was finally closed in the late 19th century. The plate is nicely handpainted with a large floral arrangement in the center as well as two gold rings as trim. It is in good condition with some very minor wear. The plate is marked with the imperial crest in black in the back as well as the factory name in Russian in red. This is the first time I have seen or owned a piece by them so they are definitely rare! The plate is 1.5 inches tall and has a diameter of 9.625 inches.
