NAUTILUS PORCELAIN HANDPAINTED CABINET PLATE BLUSH ART NOUVEAU c1910, SCOTLAND C

This offer is for a Handpainted Art Nouveau Plate

By

Nautilus Porcelain Co.

The Possil Works

Glasgow, Scotland

1896 - 1913.

If ever a city, on the very edges of Europe, was inspired by French Art Nouveau it is Glasgow.  Charles Rennie Macintosh added his style and the people of Glasgow fell in love with all things Art Nouveau and made it part of the story of Glasgow.

Art Nouveau emphasises the flowing lines of the plant world. 

This superb plate does that two ways.

The Plate is the shape of a flat, open flower head with folded scalloped petals over soft turquoise outer petals.

The ground colour is a fine champagne blush which shades to darker coffee tones at the edges.

The plate is handpainted with a superb fine flower spray of Chrysanthinums in typical, asymetric, flowing lines.

The plate is also very well gilded.

Diameter - 21 cm

The Plate is in superb condition

There are no chips or cracks.

There is virtually no wear to the gilding.

The plate has a loud clear ping.

Please view the many photographs which are part of this description.

I have listed several companion plates from this series so please do look at my other items.

I can certainly offer shipping discounts for multiple purchases.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure you have a happy transaction and you are delighted with your purchase; occasionally things will go wrong.

If you are not happy with your purchase please contact me; usually we can arrange a refund less the cost of return postage. Obviously if the problem is the result of an error by me then I will usually agree to also refund the postage.

However please note that I will not consider partial refunds. With Ebay's feedback system it is a disaster for me if a customer is not 100% happy; if for whatever reason you feel you cannot leave me 5* feedback in all categories, it would be much better to return the item, get your money back and purchase something that you are completely happy with.

Any item requiring a cancellation and refund must be returned at the purchasers expense within 7 working days from receiving the item if bought as a 'Buy it Now' purchase.
