Damaged Tournai Saucer

This is a damaged saucer made by Tournai in the 18th century. Still worth owning / restoring since these are really hard to find. I own two cups if anyone wants to make a perfect marriage but have not owned a saucer in this design before. The piece is made of soft paste porcelain and hand painted with a their best quality flowers in polychrome and a purplish trim to the edge. One large floral arrangement and one smaller one as well as two tiny leaves. I think Tournay flowers are among the very best of the porcelain world. They are amazing and the soft paste porcelain and its enamels are just perfect. The saucer has a large hairline crack going 3/4 of the way as shown. It could be restored and was not broken in half and does not look terrible but it's some major damage for sure. The piece is not marked underneath except for some incised lines and a number 2 I think as shown. Not being marked is fairly normal on Tournay pieces of this period but has the typical green translucency and moons, etc. The saucer is just under 1 inch tall and 5.5 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $129
