Royal Vienna Style Portraits Porcelain Plate

This is a circular porcelain cabinet plate, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (Victorian or Edwardian era), executed in the ornate Royal Vienna style. The central reserve features a finely rendered hand-painted portrait of a young woman in classical or romanticized attire, draped in a vibrant orange shawl with floral accents in the background. The rim is exceptionally decorated with a rich teal or forest green ground, segmented by cream-colored scrolling cartouches. These sections are further embellished with intricate raised gold gilt (moriage or heavy gilding), showcasing delicate floral patterns and filigree work. The craftsmanship indicates high-quality bone china or hard-paste porcelain with a smooth, glazed finish. Notable features include the scalloped inner border of the gold framing. In terms of condition, there is minor visible wear to the gold gilt along the outer edge and some potential light surface scratches consistent with age, though the central portrait remains vivid and intact with no apparent chips or cracks. While the underside is not visible to confirm a 'Beehive' mark or maker's stamp, the aesthetic is synonymous with Austro-German porcelain production from the turn of the century.
