c1890 Dresden Flowers Hand Painted 10" Reticulated Raised gold plates. Selling<br>the 4 plates shown, as good as they get is what they are.

These are white porcelain, not the cream shown in the pic.<br><br>The term "Dresden porcelain" refers more to an artistic movement than a<br>particular line of figurines or dinnerware.

Dresden was an important center of this artistic, cultural and<br>intellectual movement, which attracted painters, sculptors, poets, philosophers<br>and porcelain decorators alike. In 1883, in response to the exciting<br>developments happening all around them, four prominent ceramic decorators<br>registered the famous blue crown Dresden mark, and the widely popular "Dresden<br>style" was born.
