ROYAL COPENHAGEN 1870-1890 FLORA DANICA VARIANT PREDECESSOR 9 3/4" PLATE - RARE!

Description

Up for auction is this stunning and incredibly rare antique Royal Copenhagen (Denmark) 9 3/4 inch plate w/ hand painted vegetables.  This plate was certainly an early predecessor to the popular Flora Danica series.  It has a hand painted image of red and green tomatoes on a leafy vine along with turnips and a couple of other leaf (probably lettuce), as well as fruit-like (possible a green tomato), vegetables.  The outer circumference of the plate has a gold painted design, very similar to some later Flora Danica patterns.  Smooth edge is trimmed in a double heavy gold design.  Fully marked on the back with the 3 blue Royal Copenhagen underglaze line logo.  Also hand marked with factory #'s 490, 10519 and 15.  This rare mark dates the antique piece from 1870-1890.  The plate is in excellent condition with only some very minor roughness on the back where it sits on a table, commensurate and expected with the antique age of the piece (this is extremely minor and only mentioned for complete accuracy!).  Colors are clean and bright.  A great and extremely rare piece in nice shape offered with NO RESERVE!!
A wonderful addition to any Royal Copenhagen, Danish or general porcelain collection!
