19thC VIENNA BEEHIVE marked PORTRAIT PLATE HERMIONE Queen of Sicily SHAKESPEARE

Description

CLASSIC FIND in this
FANTASTIC PORTRAIT PLATE done by a VIENNA AUSTRIA STUDIO
.... clearly marked in RED ----
C hammer S
----  and I just could not find this studio to name.... a fun project!  ---
BLUE UNDERGLAZE
BEEHIVE
MARK
--- Painted as a tribute to ----
SHAKESPEARE'S DAS WINTERMARCHEN
and features the
HEROINE --- HERMIONE - QUEEN OF SICILY
---- I have seen the "basic base transfer" done by other studios, i.e.
IMPERIAL CROWN CHINA
.... but... this
MARKED:
C hammer S
STUDIO
is BY FAR ..... BETTER DECORATED and more PROFUSELY designed with the elaborate yellow gold; much more HAND ENAMELING as well.   Keep ALL that in Mind when you are viewing.  Right at
9 1/2"
in Diameter and does have the mold formed hole for wall hanging, if you so choose.
GREAT FIND and FIRST TIME SHOWN OR OFFERED.
I will have a
FAIR ASKING PRICE
for perhaps certainly
CLOSE TO UNIQUE and assume there was a SERIES.
