● Production Year: Around 1940 ● Material: Hard-paste porcelain ● 1st Quality ● Size: W: 24cm H: 4cm A versatile, deep plate that is easy to use every day. While Meissen was transitioning from the Pfeiffer period to the modern era, the floral painting was beginning to stylize for the contemporary version. However, even during this time, technically superb works were still being produced. Basically, painting in a single color requires far more skill than multiple colors, and is generally only permitted for top-level painters. This is because it is very difficult to express texture, shadows, and gradations with just one color. At the same time, it goes without saying that the price is very high, making it a series that is difficult to obtain. The ultimate feature is the gold gilding around the entire perimeter. It is carefully done entirely by "hand." The gilding technique, which perfectly completes a full circle without a single error, is unique to Meissen. And the gold accents added to the flowers. We are in awe of such elegant presentation, which is not seen in general series. Only master-class painters are allowed to paint these decorations. The pale blue of the underglaze, which has melted into the glaze, is very beautiful. The Meissen flower has a rich and powerful impact, and you will be captivated by the magnificent brushwork. Even though it is in the 20th century, the traces of the crossed swords are still vividly visible in the depiction. It has a high-level finish with the technique of using both softness and richness. The technique of beautifully painting on curved areas is also wonderful. After mastering the general series of multiple colors, let's level up to "Meissen for adults." Such depictions can no longer be reproduced today, and the camaieu of modern Meissen is far from it. It is in like-new condition, with no signs of wear on the gold gilding, suggesting that it has been carefully stored. Although it is described as a soup plate, I think it will also be flexible for salad plates and various other presentations. Let's gather several plates to brighten up the table. We also offer a flat type that is equally easy to use, so please take a look. If you were to purchase it new today, you might hesitate to use it because of the high price, but we have set it at an affordable price, so please consider it.
