Softpaste Scenic Saucer #1

This is a nice saucer dish made in France in the 18th century. The piece is made of soft paste porcelain and is hand painted with a nice land scape scene in the center in the typical Paris style. The scene is of a very nice quality and includes a ruin, some buildings and two people in a landscape surrounding. The rim has a cobalt blue ground color with a gold leaf garland over that and a gold ring to either side of the blue. The shape and paste of the saucer reminds me of Sevres porcelain but it was not done by them. The translucency is green and it has typical moons to it showing it to be from the 18th century. Not sure as to the maker but definitely French from this period. The dish is in great condition with just some wear to the gilding and a small firing flaw around 7 o'clock under the scene. The piece is not marked at all so it is hard to figure out the exact maker. The saucer is 1.125 inches tall and 5.125 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $99
