Villeroy & Boch - Dinner plate (6) - Brombeere - Feinsteingut - Rare, around 1900

With the berry-decor “Brombeere” produced in the stoneware factory of Villeroy & Boch in Dresden, this is a dreamily beautiful, historically significant service that immediately catches the eye with its detailed design.

The rare plates produced in underglaze transfer-decor show fine blue-gray hand-painted, faithful blackberry vines with leaves and fruits on white and ivory-colored stoneware shards.
The decor "Brombeere" emerged around the turn of the century in the style of the late Gründerzeit and Art Nouveau. The designers of the series followed the examples of Meissen porcelain liberally at that time.
Since around 1900, due to technical reasons, the firing clay was subjected to temperature fluctuations, causing the shard colors to vary between ivory and white.

The Brombeere series was designed toward the end of the 19th century; according to the base marks, the plates can be assigned to a production period between 1890–1909.
