High relief decorative plaques- could be Victorian?
« on: November 06, 2008, 02:45:41 pm »
I am trying to identify the maker of these two matching porcelain wall hangings: the maker's mark must be somewhere on the back of the oval plaques.
The pictures were taken with a cell phone and really don't do the works justice. Both plaques are oval, each depicting a couple in Spring pseudo-Roman garb. The porcelain itself is matte, and the colours are very delicate with accents of 24 carat gold.
The matting is an olive-y green, stuffed velvet and the frame is fairly simple. I doubt that the pieces are very old- perhaps late Victorian or following. Any information leading to the identity of the manufacturer or date of the pieces would be greatly appreciated!
