Sevres Style Decorative Wall Plate with Miniature Bird Saucers
This set features a large, ornate porcelain display plate accompanied by two smaller miniature saucers, likely of European origin and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The central primary plate showcases a hand-painted portrait of a young woman in traditional peasant or coastal attire, standing on a beach and carrying a basket. The central tondo is framed by a soft pink gradient background, which transitions into a deep burgundy/maroon wide rim. This rim is heavily embellished with intricate 22k gold gilt filigree and rococo scrollwork. The two smaller pieces are miniature saucers featuring transfer-printed or hand-finished avian motifs (game birds) in the center, flanked by matching burgundy and gold decorative borders to create a cohesive set. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of decorative porcelain manufacturing common in factories located in France or Germany (such as Sevres or Dresden style). The condition appears well-preserved for its age, with strong pigment retention. There is evidence of minor gilt rubbing on the edges due to the use of metal spring hangars for wall mounting. No visible cracks or major crazing are apparent from the frontal view, though a light patina consistent with age is expected on the unglazed foot rings.
