Kaiser Wilhelm IV Royal Plate #2

This is a rare royal plate made by KPM in the 19th century around 1855. It has the cypher of King Wilhelm the 4th on the back so it once belonged to him. Nice provenance :) Imagine all the famous people that hae 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 nicely but has had two flat chips restored on the edge as shown. They do not affect the underside and must have been pretty small. The old overpaint could be done much better nowadays but it looks fine as is when displayed! Some wear to the gilding. The plate is 1.25 inches tall and 9.875 inches in diameter. It is marked underneath with the under glaze blue scepter with the circular penny mark under it as well as the red orb, the usual impressed marks and the royal cypher in puce as shown. A great plate with a nice history to it! Please email me for more information or other pictures.
