2 Antique Merkelsgrun Austria Plates - Signed BLACK

Description

These are two beautiful old plates. One of them measures approximately 8 5/8", the other one has a diameter of 10".
Matching designs with abundant gold trim and dark green bands around the gently scalloped and embossed rims. Beautifully decorated with pink roses. Hand applied enamel accents and gold. Both plates bear the signature "Black" as part of the design.
Made by the Porcelain Factory Merkelsgrun in Austria and the larger plate is accordingly marked. This mark was used between 1912 and 1918.
In very good condition, no chips. There is some wear to the gold. The smaller plate has an old short hairline crack on the rim, barely visible from the front.
