Meissen - Plate - Porcelain

Impressive decorative plate in fine German porcelain, made during the height of the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) period, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, roughly between 1890 and 1910, in 22-karat gold.
The piece stands out for an exuberant floral decoration, executed in relief, with motifs of flowers, leaves and sinuous tendrils typical of Art Nouveau aesthetics. The composition is accentuated by an intense cobalt background, which elegantly contrasts with the white porcelain and the richly hand-applied gilding.
The undulating edge harmoniously follows the naturalistic design of the decoration, and the richness of the sculptural details demonstrates the artisanal mastery of the workshop that produced the piece. The gilding has a notable luminosity and highlights every vegetal element of the composition.
The back bears relief decorations and a hand-painted blue under-glaze mark. According to available information, the piece is attributed to the Meissen manufactory, one of the most prestigious European porcelain manufacturers, founded in 1710 in Germany. The style, execution technique, and the quality of the decoration are characteristic of German luxury production from the Belle Époque period.
This piece represents an excellent example of early 20th-century German decorative art and constitutes both a valuable collectible and a striking decorative element with strong visual impact.
Due to aging, the gilding is more faded in some parts, but all flaws are visible in the photos.
