Description :

Offered is a finely crafted Meissen porcelain plate in the classic Blue Onion (Zwiebelmuster) pattern, featuring cobalt blue floral and botanical motifs on a white ground. The central design includes stylized peonies, asters, and delicate foliage, framed by a pierced reticulated border with four floral cartouches. This plate exemplifies Meissen’s renowned hand-painted artistry and ornamental precision, ideal for cabinet or wall display.

  • Maker: Meissen, Germany

  • Pattern: Blue Onion (Zwiebelmuster)

  • Diameter: approx. 9.5 inches

  • Markings: Underglaze blue crossed swords mark on reverse, with straight hilts and no additional symbols, consistent with pre-WWII production between 1890 and 1930

  • Design Features:

    • Central floral motif with stylized blooms and vines

    • Reticulated rim with lattice openwork and floral accents

    • Glazed white porcelain with rich cobalt blue decoration

  • Condition: Excellent; no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor surface wear consistent with age

  • Display: Includes gold-tone mounting clips

About the Mark: The crossed swords emblem is Meissen’s iconic trademark, introduced in the 18th century and used continuously with subtle variations. The version on this plate—straight swords without dots, stars, or other additions—indicates authentic Meissen manufacture prior to World War II, under the Royal Porcelain Manufactory.

This plate reflects the enduring appeal of Meissen’s historic design legacy, combining ornamental elegance with precise hand-painted detail. A distinguished addition to any collection of fine European ceramics.
