Meissen Porcelain Wares. A Fine and Large, Square Tray. Hand painted flowers, on a pure white ground, form the centerpiece of this impressive handled tray. Dominating are the full bloom rose of bright yellow color, plus in red what is perhaps a chrysanthemum, and other colorful varieties, all rendered with care and elegance. The gold-fired ornate and raised edging in sinuous arabesques, with scallop shell corners, and two cartouches, each enclosing a small painted floral spray. Inside the gold borders, a wider border of deep cobalt or royal blue. At center of tray's underside, a mark of two crossed swords in cobalt blue, plus other numerical marks, both impressed or painted in blue or red. Tray immaculate. Size: 16" x 16". Ca. 1930, or earlier. Gorgeous craftsmanship, with a truly "Imperial" look. Don't miss this one.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
