Ariadne Scenic Plate

This is a nice plate made by one of the many factories copying the Royal Vienna beehive / shield mark. This one was made in the late 19th / early 20th century in Austria or possibly Germany ! The center is hand painted with a signed scene of Amor and Ariadne titled the mourning (or greiving) Ariadne. A good quality scene with the typical fancy gilding and raised enamel design to the rim on a reddish ground. The painting is signed K. Weh. These types of plates are very elegant and decorative which is why they are so popular. The plate is in perfect condition. It is 9.375 inches in diameter and 1.375 inches tall so a very nice size. It is marked with the blue shield / beehive mark underneath as well as the title Die trauernde Ariadne and some impressed marks as shown. Please email me for more information or photos.
