AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large German porcelain display plate - Elegant gallant scene and pansy violet decoration - 32 cm
Refined and imposing display plate (or service platter) in fine German porcelain, featuring a generous diameter of 32 cm. The piece stands out for its decorative richness and superb craftsmanship, typical of the ceramic tradition of central Germany (Thuringia region or Bavaria).
Main Features:
Central Decoration: A splendid Rococo-style gallant scene depicting two ladies and a gentleman in 18th-century attire within a garden. The scene is rendered in soft pastel tones with great attention to facial features and fabrics.
Ornamental Border: The perimeter is richly decorated with a continuous garland of pansies in violet and amethyst shades, interspersed with green leaves. Pansies traditionally symbolize "the thoughts of love".
Finishes: The outer rim and the inner frame of the scene are adorned with a fine gilt filigree. A raised beaded motif (pointillé) elegantly frames the central medallion.
Dimensions: 32 cm in diameter, making it a centerpiece or wall piece with strong visual impact.
Material: Hard porcelain.
Origin: Germany (mark on the back).
Era: 20th century (mid-20th century).
