AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare set of 11 vintage dessert plates in semi-porcelain – Marked FB 12 (on a test piece) - Mint Green Décor & Rich Geometric Gilding
Magnificent and rare set of 11 vintage dessert/pudding plates, presented in very good overall condition. Each piece comes from a European high-technical manufacture.
Technical features, Era & Aesthetics:
ERA / AGE: Early 20th century (circa 1920 - 1940) | Gorgeous Art Deco styling.
Authenticity Note (The Stamp): The origin of this service is certified by the original mark 'FB 12' stamped on the back of one of the plates. Important note for experts and buyers: As was common in old factories, the mark was applied only on one test piece of the service, or the marks on the other pieces may have faded over time and use. This guarantees the historical authenticity of the entire set.
Manufacturing Quality: Made in high-end semi-porcelain. These plates are distinguished by their great lightness (exactly 200 grams each) and a clear, crystalline, long-lasting resonance, very close to that of fine porcelain (proof of a perfect high-temperature firing).
Dimensions and ergonomics: Ideal diameter of 18.5 cm with a profile cut at a height of 2 cm, specially designed for refined service.
Exceptional Decoration and Gilding: The twisted beaded rim bears a bright mint glaze, enhanced by a particularly wide, rich, and brilliant gold gilding. This gilding showcases a complex geometric design (double arcade frieze, concentric circles, and meticulous triangles). The center features a stunning naturalistic motif with vibrant colors, depicting two songbirds perched on a branch.
Condition (Transparent Details):
The set is overall in very good vintage condition, with the gold gilding beautifully preserved and radiant. For complete transparency:
The stamp: Present and clearly legible on one of the plates in the lot (see photos).
One plate shows an extremely fine hairline crack, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Another plate has a very small chip located exclusively on the back, which does not affect the front-facing aesthetics of the plate.
No major restoration. The set remains perfectly functional and highly decorative.
