Antique Majolica Portrait Plates/ Set of Two 1880's Pink 2024 and Teal Glazed Cameo Plates/ German Antique Card Plates

Beauty like this never goes out of style!

Two beautiful Victorian German Majolica portrait plates made in the 18th Century.
The colours of these plates are rare to find and absolutely stunning- a beautiful bright blue glaze with an olive green cameo, and a complimentary candy pink with teal. It's incredible to think these bang on- trend colour palettes were just as 2024 popular 140 years ago!

These would originally have been used for visitors to leave their business card and would look fantastic now as part of a vintage kitchen display/mantlepiece art/hallway plate/jewellery plate. Any excuse!

In great vintage condition considering their age withno cracks or chips, there is some wear to the glazing on the raised details (see photos) which personally I think adds to the charm!

The cameos are works of art and have been heavily set and glazed giving a 3D effect. Description cannot do them justice!
Numbered on the reverse. Price is for both plates.

Plates measure: 8" Diameter
