Best Ever Weichmalerei Plate #3

This is something special. I have owned some amazing plates by KPM over the years but this one along with the other five on the site have to be the most amazing plates I have ever seen from this period in the Weichmalerei style. The plate was made in the late 19th century during the Art Nouveau period plate by KPM Berlin. The entire surface of the plate is hand painted with a top notch flower design including what look to be water lilies as well as lots of different grass types and some large leaves. My favorite part are the two large dragon flies but there is also a bug highlighted with gilding and some more dragon flies as well as a butterfly. Each large dragon fly has lots of gold highlights as well as do some of the flowers and grasses. I cannot tell you how amazing this plate looks so have a look at the picture to get an idea - though it looks better in real life. To top it off the nicely shaped rim has raised Seger enamel "jewels" in green with some gold trim. I have not seen anything like it not can I find any others. A truly superb plate and it is in perfect condition. The piece is 1.25 inches tall and 9.75 inches in diameter. It is marked underneath with the underglaze blue scepter, the red orb mark as well as a gilder's mark and a red M as a painter's mark which I assume is for the famous Paul Miethe! The usual impressed marks as well. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $3499
