A charming vintage porcelain decorative plate featuring a colorful fruit arrangement with strawberries, grapes and additional fruit and foliage at the center. The elaborate reticulated or pierced openwork border gives the plate a delicate lace-like appearance, finished with gold accents along the outer edge.

Measuring approximately 8 inches across, this pretty piece is ready for display in a kitchen, dining room, China cabinet, gallery wall or vintage-inspired décor collection.

A wire plate hanger is included. The hanger has rubber-covered tips where it contacts the plate to help protect the porcelain edges.

History

Reticulated porcelain uses pierced or cut-out sections to create an intricate openwork design. Decorative fruit plates with reticulated borders were produced by a number of porcelain manufacturers and were especially popular as display and cabinet pieces.

Comparable vintage examples can be found from German, Bavarian and Japanese porcelain makers, but because this plate is unmarked and an exact documented match was not located, its maker and country of origin remain unknown.
