A Pickard handpainted plate, made very early in the 20th century, Chicago USA. Artist signed Marker.
Measures 8.5inches in diameter.
The gold rimmed round plate with a deep well in the middle is handpainted with a tropical waterscape scene of Palm trees over the water in the moonlight. Beautiful soft grey blue and green tones with just a touch of red in the foreground as a contrast.
Artist signed, Marker on lower right.
The back has the PICKARD logo - handpainted Pickard China and is done on a Thomas Bavaria blank.
The painting is in mint condition as is the gilding. The rim at the back is a little rough, but that is totally hidden and mentioned only for the sake of accuracy.
