Herend Rare Design Plate

This is a really interesting plate! Definitely made in the mid to later 19th century and given the reticulated edge it had to have been made by Herend. The piece is made of porcelain and is hand painted with an interesting design I ahve only seen once or twice before. I do not know the name for it. The rim is hand painted with bluish grey cloud like panels with a gold design over that as well as round pink ground panels with darker pink shapes surrounded by gilding. The space between has an light brown ground color with gold and darker brown design on top of that and even white raised enamel designs one often sees on early Herend pieces. The edge is reticulated as shown with a gold trim over that and the verye dge is gilded as well. It's an awesome plate but leaves me with so many questions! Could not find anything out about this pattern anywhere either. The porcelain is a creamy white color. There used to be a fancy gold design in the center of the palte which you can now only see when held at the right angle to the light. It is all but gone. The plate is unmarked but there is a spot of gilding which might be left over from a mark. Nothing one can figure out anything from. The plate is in good condition without any chips, etc. but there is wear to the gilding along the edge, the edge of the well and the center design is gone which I had already mentioned. The piece is 0.75 inches tall and 7.875 inches in diameter. The translucency is straw colored if that help anyone ID it. A quick note would be appreciated! A really interesting plate! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
