1750 Bruehlsches Allerlei Plate

This is a superb plate made by Meissen around 1750. It is the earliest plate in this design and had it fruit on it as well as the flowers it could have been from the original service designed for Heinrich Count of Brühl around 1742 and thus known as the Brühlsches Allerlei . One much more often sees a plate with this design from later periods but to ahve one from this very early period is a treat! A very stunning plate that has a large hand painted floral arrangement in the center as well as a few smaller flowers spread around and a very fancy reticulated rim with lots of flowers and gold highlights. Each reticulated area is different with three that are more plain with just a touch of gilding and three more that are in the shape of a floral arrangement with each flower hand painted perfectly! Gold trim to the very edge. It is a stunning look! The same Count is also responsible for the more famous Swan service! The Bruehlsches Allerlei design is one of the nicest rim designs one can own by Meissen! The plate displays perfectly but there is a touch of wear and a hairline has developed between some of the reticulated spots in one area as shown from the front and back. It never touches the edge and is stable. It is a common issue with this sort of reticulation. Really in superb condition for the age! It is marked with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark and the usual impressed number one finds on Meissen of this period. The plate is 1.5 inches tall and 10.25 inches in diameter which is a very nice size. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
