Zeh Scherzer Bavarian Porcelain Plate

Bavarian Porcelain Plate — an elegant example of hand-finished German porcelain from the early 20th century. This plate features a central bouquet in soft pinks and greens, framed by a gentle blush rim that fades into cream. Delicate gilded edging outlines the scalloped rim, catching the light and emphasizing the plate’s decorative contours.

Bavaria was home to many prolific porcelain factories, and plates like this were often made for export to English-speaking markets. Their appeal lay in the combination of machine-transferred floral patterns and hand-applied finishing — a technique that allowed for affordable yet high-quality decorative wares. The romantic palette and border fading were typical of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian periods, particularly in tableware made for parlors or guest settings.

This piece remains a timeless accent, perfect for traditional or vintage-inspired interiors. Whether displayed in a wall rack or used for light serving, it brings old-world charm and a trace of European refinement to any collection.
