Fallen Flowers Royal Plate #1

This is a rare royal plate made by KPM in the early 20th century. It has the royal cypher of Wilhelm I ( Wilhelm Rex ) of the House of Hohenzollern on it who first was King and later on Kaiser ( Emperor ) of Germany on the back so it once belonged to him / the royal household. Nice provenance for sure! Imagine all the famous people that have eaten of this piece! It is hand painted with a superb center decoration of a basket that has fallen over and spilled flowers that were inside on some grass with some larger roses coming out from behind a rock with two butterflies fluttering around the flowers. The rim has a ring of morning glory flowers to it and a gold trim to the nicely shaped edge. The plate displays superbly though it has two chips to the foot ring as shown and some of the usual wear to the gilding typical of these pieces. None of it affect the piece and it displays very well. The plate is 1.375 inches tall and 9.625 inches in diameter. It is marked underneath with the under glaze blue scepter with the red orb, the usual impressed marks, a gilder's mark and the royal cypher in puce as shown. A great plate with a nice history to it!

Price is $999
