Antique Bavarian Reticulated Porcelain Floral Cabinet Plate
This stunning cabinet plate features a delicate reticulated (pierced) border, a hallmark of fine German porcelain that mimics the appearance of lace. The center is adorned with a vibrant, hand-painted polychrome floral spray, featuring daisies and wildflowers in soft hues of violet, orange, and rose.
The intricate lattice-work rim is further elevated by a hand-applied 24K gold gilt scalloped edge, providing a regal frame for the central botanical motif. On the reverse, the plate bears an underglaze mark consisting of a crown atop a heraldic shield, identifying its origin in the historic porcelain-producing region of Bavaria, Germany.
