Rare Royal Kurland Plate

This is a very rare plate from the famous Kurland service made by KPM in 1917 for the personal use of Kaiser Wilhelm the Second. This is one of the best and most popular services of the 20th century and I have never seen one owned by the Kaiser for sale! The plate has the typical nice turquoise ground rim with raised garlands in it in white with a nice gold trim to either side. The center of the plate has a nice floral arrangement as well as three small butterflies. This is the nicest of the Kurland decorations! Extremely decorative plus with the Kaiser's monogram on the back - doesn't get better than this! The plate is in perfect condition which is really nice! The plate is 1.25 inches tall and has a diameter of 11 inches so a large dinner plate. It is marked underneath with the underglaze blue scepter, the red orb as well as a black artist or pattern marks by the footring and impressed marks common to the early 20th century pieces. And off course the WR under a crown and the year 1917 under that in blue plus the black iron cross for the period during WWI and probably one of the last pieces made for the Kaiser as 1918 was the last year of his reign.
