EXCEPTIONAL PORCELAIN CABINET PLATE from the ROYAL MANUFACTURE of NYMPHENBURG (Munich), a masterpiece of the German Art Nouveau period. This piece stands out for the rare technical mastery of its "triple Durchbruch" (openwork) rim, forming stylized torches, and its floral decor of radical modernity for the time. Focus on Decor 599: Narcissus & Contrasts The central motif features a yellow Narcissus treated in flat tones, whose organic silhouette breaks the depth of an intense purple/magenta background. This bold chromatic choice, typical of the Munich Secession, plays on complementary tones to create a unique luminous vibration. This variant on a purple background is truly rare, as Decor 599 is more frequently found on light or white backgrounds. The elegance of the line and the simplification of the form already herald the beginnings of modern design. Technical Specifications. . Manufacturer: Nymphenburg (Munich, Bavaria). .
