Description

These are two decorative porcelain plates, made by Thomas, a subsidiary of Rosenthal, and handpainted by artists in two designs, purple violets and grape bunches and leaves. The plates are 7 & 1/2 inches in diameter, and the violets plate is edged in gold and the grapes plate is edged in either black or dark purple, it’s hard to tell. The plate with the grapes has an artist signature on the back, Hayes. The green backstamp under the glaze shows the porcelain was made by the company, Thomas, which became a subsidiary of Rosenthal of Germany in 1908. This backstamp was used between 1908-1939 according to collect Rosenthal.com. The plates are in excellent antique to almost antique condition, with no cracks, chips or crazing. Because they are handpainted decorative plates, I see no utensil marks at an angle to the light. They are about 7 & 1/2 inches in diameter and weigh about 10 ounces each. They would be pretty to display in a china cabinet or hang on a wall. Please zoom in on the pictures and see the 360 degree video for a closer look. I pack with lots of bubble wrap for safe shipping and ship out quickly, within one business day, sometimes same day, and sometimes on Saturday if I can get to the post office before it closes at noon. Any questions, please ask and thanks for looking!
