St. Petersburg 18th Century Floral Imperial Plate

This is a porcelain plate made by the famous St. Petersburg factory during the reign of Catherine II (aka Catherine the Great). The plate is from the Everyday Service used at the Peterhof Palace and was made between 1762 and 1796 but I'd say rather earlier than later maybe around 1770 according to the paste. The plate is very nicely handpainted with a large floral arrangement in the center, three smaller flowers on the rim, a nice basketweave design to the rim and an orange brown trim to the edge of the rim. The plate is in superb condition considering its age with very little wear. It has one mini chip to the rim where a tiny bit of the orange brown trim is gone. Its barely worth mentioning as its not obvious whatsoever! There are various manufacturing flaws of dimples and black firing spots normal in the early plates and mostly underneath. The plate is 1.375 inches tall and 10.125 inches in diameter. It is marked underneath with the underglaze blue EII mark, a puce star and the Russian letter P:K. There is also an incised 6. or something along those lines. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
