Exquisite Victorian 1880 Crossed Sword Hallmarked Messien Plate Reproduced Brieflesendes Madchen, Jan Vermeer Van Delft. Famous Oil Painting A Girl Reading a Letter by Window


Antique Meissen porcelain cabinet plate, impressed rose pattern, cobalt blue and extensively gilded, makers mark to the reverse
This rendering of Vermeer is also know as Brieflezend Meisje bij het Venster

Exquisite Victorian 1880 Messien Plate On back is written in script: Brieflesendes Madchen, Jan Vermeer Van Delft. My photograph does it no justice for this plate is in excellent condition, there are no spots on the plate and the colors are rich and dark. I just can't seem to get this camera to reproduce the stunning rich colors. I will be adding more pictures later and explaining

Below is the rear of the plate
Below is a closeup of rim and the beautiful gold painted design
