Floral Plate #8

This is a nice floral deep or soup plate made by Royal Vienna in the 18th century before they started using the date codes in the 1780s. The piece is hand painted with a nice floral arrangement in the well of the plate with three smaller flowers and a leaf filling in the rest of the space. The rim has a nice basket weave relief design to it with four more flowers over that and a brown trim to the edge. What is interesting regarding this piece is that it came in a set of eight plates all of which were painted by a different painter working for them so you can compare their styles and use of colors. Quite neat! I am listing them all separately. The painter in this case here is probably Franz who worked for the factory from 1783 until 1804. The plate is in great condition with a bit of stacking wear to the small yellow flower and a brown firing spot near that but it displays superbly! The flowers are extra nice on this piece! The plate is marked with the under glaze blue shield mark underneath as well as the painter's mark 10. and an impressed letter N near the foot ring and incised number 15 into the glaze as shown. The plate is 1.875 inches tall and 9.5 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or photos.
