Thank you. Well, I guess this happens with beginning collectors... I will just have to sell it.
Also, I saw that were talking here about Metz Auction house. Do you recommend them? I know they sell a lot of Meissen. I also signed up for Bonhams. Anyo…
Another question: would it make sense to ask a professional to take off the coloring on the blue and white plate? It is over glaze after all? Do such things work?
Thanks you! I need your book! :-) I have a couple of pieces by Augsburg Hausmalerei about 1725, but not Ferner yet. Ferner would be later - 1740s, right?
Thanks again.
A question for Nicholas Zumbulyadis, as well as others who might help with this piece. It looks like early Meissen to me (1740-50?), but what about the wilde colors? Never seen them this way... Can people help? It is a large saucer...
College Professor, collector all my life. Spent fifteen years collecting Russian silver and Faberge, also Russian art; now collecting Meissen tableware (1710-1750) for the last year.
