EARLY 20TH CENTURY GERMAN/AUSTRIAN ANTIQUE PAIR DECORATIVE PORCELAIN CERAMIC DINNER PLATES, W/SWIMMING TROUT(Circa 1900-1925)Early 20th century European transfer porcelain ceramic dinner plates with sporting/fishing themesDIMENSIONS:9 1⁄2" in DiameterDESCRIPTION:One of the early 20th century Austrian or German antique decorative dinner plates has two tiny nicks. Both show some slight, minimal fading, around princ the two inch banded edge decoration and some minor to moderate yellowing. Both centers of the plates are free of knife marks and feature colors which still remain vivid, saturated and strong. They demonstrate some fairly democratic, evenly distributed, fine crazing on their glazed surfaces. They're unmarked with either an ink stamped maker's mark or stamped impression on their base plates. These most likely Austrian or German made decorative porcelain plates have transferred graphic iconography on their interior basins, which show trout freshwater fish swimming in a stream. These antique porcelain plates were clearly made for the sporting enthusiast and freshwater fisherman, who angled the streams and rivers of Europe and America with their fly rods and decked out in period fishing apparel. When the plates were found in a kitchen on the South Shore of Massachusetts, they were covered with literally years of kitchen grease, dust, dirt and silt. They were extremely carefully, painstakingly cleaned, washed, rinsed and gently dried. To our surprise were these wonderful pair of trout fishing themed German/Austrian porcelain ceramic dinner plates, nearly undamaged, as if protected from further harm and injury by the very same dust and silt which had once completely enveloped and covered them. Very sharp and very handsome.
CONDITION:Good to Very Good overall antique condition.
