FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONWE OFFER THIS GORGEOUS GAUDY WELSH PLATE MADE IN THE EARLY 1800'S. IT HAS NO MAKER'S MARK. PURCHASED FROM A HIGH END sale HOUSE, IT CAME WITH THE STICKER 'THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON'. THE STICKER LOOKS OLD SO IT PROBABLY SAT IN A VAULT FOR MANY YEARS, WHICH LIKELY ACCOUNTS FOR THE GREAT CONDITION OF THE PLATE.
WELSH POLYCHROME WAS PRIMARILY PRODUCED FROM 1800 TO 1820 AND ENDED IN 1840. THIS STYLE OF PLATE IS ACTUALLY A SHALLOW BOWL BUT, AT THAT TIME, THEY WERE CALLED PLATES.
IT IS HAND PAINTED---THE COLORS ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL. ON THE WHITE BACKGROUND YOU WILL SEE PINK, ORANGE, YELLOW, BROWN AND COBALT BLUE. THE GOLD ACCENTS ARE ON THE COBALT AND THE FLOWER CENTERS.
THERE ARE NO CHIPS, CRAZING OR HAIRLINES. IT USED TO HAVE A GOLD RIM BUT THAT IS ALMOST GONE.TH PLATE IS 10" IN DIAMETER AND STANDS 1 3/4". THE CENTER FLAT SECTION IS 5 1/2" IN DIAMETER.THIS IS REALLY A TREASURE TO ENJOY---THANKS FOR SHOPPING WITH US!
