A large, circular Meissen porcelain serving platter with scalloped rim in the "Streublumen" (thrown flower) pattern. Decorated with beautiful handpainted flowers spread across a white glaze ground with an intricate gilt rim pattern. Size: 13 3/8 in. diameter x 2 in. depth, identified on bottom with Meissen blue crossed swords mark used between 1825-1924 plus impressed under glaze is a "13" over a "3".Streublumen means tossed or scattered flowers. In Germany, when a bride and groom were married, it was a tradition to throw flowers at the bride and groom, like we throw rice in the United States. Each time they were thrown, different flowers would land in all different patterns. This is where the idea behind the Meissen Streublumen flowers pattern. Each piece of the Meissen streublumen dinnerware is painted with different patterns of scattered flowers against the beautful pure white glaze of the fine Meissen porcelain. Meissen steublumen is truely a beautiful pattern.

Very good antique conditon.
