Antique Dresden Germany Hand Painted Porcelain Handled Serving Dish Flawless!

Description

This gorgeous antique hand painted porcelain relish dish has the green “crown Dresden” mark used by Donath & Co. The Donath decorating studio operated in Dresden Germany from 1872 until 1916. In addition to the crown Dresden mark, there is also a gold overlay flower mark. This gold flower was used to cover the manufacturer’s mark, a practice used by several of the Dresden decorating studios. Donath was known to use porcelain blanks from Meissen, Thomas Co., and some of the manufacturers in Limoges, France. This divided dish is entirely hand painted with brilliantly colored floral wreaths and accented in gold. Two oval serving dishes are separated by a gold embellished handle.  The dish measures 12" by 9" and stands 3 1/2" high to the top of the handle.  It is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, discoloration or any other type of damage. There is a tiny loss of gold rim at the front, less than 1/16".  The beautiful floral painting is colorful and unblemished and the gold scolling is fine and meticulously done.  This is a truly lovely piece.
