Absolutely Stunning! I love hand painted roses and some artist are able to paint them so perfectly. This is an Bavarian plate is from about 1860-70. It has lovely pink roses and a green and yellow background. There are also flowers that look like Lilacs. There is a drop of water on one of the roses…..just stunning It is 8 1/4" across. How perfect would this be to serve cookies or torts on? Great for a wedding or special party.
The company was founded in 1814 by Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther (1794-1845) in Hohenberg an der Eger, Bavaria, Germany. He had previously worked at the Wallendorf porcelain manufactory in Lichte (Wallendorf). After his death in 1845, the factory was headed by his widow, Johanna Hutschenreuther, and her two sons. From 1860, they produced hand-painted gilded porcelains. A large part of the factory was destroyed by a fire in 1848, but it was rebuilt.
I think it is awesome that some of these pieces have survived for over a hundred years and are still as beautiful today. I try to describe items as accurately as possible.
