Additional Information:
Meissen has been a name associated with the finest porcelain ever made
and continues to be such today.
This plate is a wonderful example of the Meissen Blue Onion pattern and
has a scalloped edge with three cartouches on the border. The
reticulated areas between each cartouch are flawless and exquisite.
The so-called "Knaufschwerter" marks, or swords with knobby handles, as
roughly translated from German, were used during two periods at the
Meissen's manufactory. The first period being 1731-1765, and the second
period from 1850 until 1924. We believe our piece is from the later era.
The dates for
the Meissen mark of crossed swords with pommels are shown and stated in
Robert Rontgen's Book
of Meissen,
on page 270, Figures 611 to 613. Rontgen's dates for this mark are
1850-1924. The mark is also visible on the base of the bamboo tree.
This plate
will arrive at your home clean, ready to use, display or give as a gift.
