Fine Meissen Porcelain Cabinet Plate, fourth quarter 19th century, having a reticulated rim and deep cobalt ground, richly decorated with elaborate raised and tooled gilt bands, the cavetto a finely painted scene "Ein Dame am Clavier" after Caspar Netscher (Dutch, 1639-1694), as noted in black script on the reverse along with blue underglaze Meissen crossed pommel swords, impressed "8", "73" and three grouped numerals, dia. 9". Proceeds to benefit the Companion Animal Alliance, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

In overall excellent condition. The recessed reserve richly executed. There are two TINY pin dots to the surface - one above and to the left of the player's head, the other just above the singer's outer knee with a TINY recessed firing anomaly down and to the right of his inner knee. A TINY old nick to the foot underneath - hardly worth mentioning. All gilt decoration in excellent condition.
