Description
Really nice early 1800's to 1860's compote set. I believe the Brown leaves on the rim are transfer printed, but am positive the flowers in the centers are hand painted. Every piece has slight variations some even have different colored roses in the same spots. The plates were made on a potters wheel. The Compote and plates are 9" wide x 2.5" tall, no cracks, chips, or restorations on any of the 5 pieces there is minor gold wear on the compote, very minor utensil marks here and there on all pieces, extremely light stains on the front and back of one plate. This is a really clean set and very early.
