These 2 restored places from Zell Baden features a popular waterlily design with raised outilines in greens and blues. The pieces are embossed with the Baden stamp and numbers on the reverse. I owned these plates and had them on display for quite a while before realizing they had been restored in places described below. The plates are 9.25 inches in diameter and make such light and beautiful accents on display on a wall or in a cabinet.
CONDITION:
Both plates have tiny bits of paint loss on the raised outlines. These are only noticeable up close. In other areas around the edge of the plates, areas of paint loss have been repainted with exacting colour matching. What gives away the repair is the slight lack of gloss without the overglaze when the plates are held to reflect the light. Also where the repainted areas include the lighter raised outline of the design, one can see that these lines have been redrawn with white paint and do not protrude as much as the undamaged lines. Please view the all of the photos where these areas are annotated. Also note that Plate 1 has a little area of speckling under the glaze that would have occurred during manufacturing.
These plates are great for elevating the decor and staging in places where you may not want to invest a lot to achieve the same look. They are so pretty and are so reminiscent of Spring and Monet paintings.
