Magnificent set of 6 plates “ Yellow Rose” pattern, marvelous hand painted, with lovely large Rose flower and buds, scattered on a white porcelain, gold trimmed, in pristine condition. Floral painting on porcelain has a long tradition at the Meissen manufactory that has grown continually throughout the ages and continues on to this day. Based on the still life paintings of the Old Masters, roses began to appear as a motif in porcelain painting in 1740. Initially in bouquet form, the rose became popular as a single motif in the following Marcolini period. The graceful “MEISSEN Rose” was developed from these paintings in the Biedermeier period. The design corresponds to the particularly evocative still life paintings of flowers in the style of Georg Friedrich Kersting, who was head of flower painting at MEISSEN at this time.
