Very rare hand-decorated Royal Vienna porcelain plate, featuring a finely painted classical female portrait, richly gilt with elaborate gold ornamentation, circa late 19th century. A striking example of European decorative fine art.

Chrysanthemum

“Chrysanthemum” presents a softly painted and deeply poetic portrait of a young woman captured in a quiet, intimate moment. She gently holds blooming chrysanthemums in her hands, not tightly, but with a tender, almost hesitant touch, as if she is aware of their fragility. Her expression is calm and thoughtful, her gaze turned slightly aside, giving the impression of a private reflection rather than a posed portrait. The softness of her face, the delicate blush of her skin, and the natural flow of her features create a sense of serenity and inner grace.

The flowers play a central role in the story of the scene. Their pale pink petals are painted with remarkable finesse, each bloom rendered with subtle tonal transitions that give them life and depth. The way she holds the chrysanthemums suggests affection and contemplation, as if the flowers carry a quiet meaning known only to her. The flowing fabric of her dress, painted in gentle, airy tones, moves naturally around her form and enhances the sense of softness and elegance that defines the composition.

The portrait is signed Bauer and exemplifies the refined hand of late 19th-century Vienna-style porcelain decoration. The painting displays exceptional control of light and shadow, especially in the flesh tones and the delicate modeling of the hands, flowers, and fabric. The overall atmosphere is one of stillness, femininity, and timeless beauty.

Surrounding the portrait, the rim is richly decorated on a deep black enamel ground with raised 24K gilding. Intricate neoclassical motifs, floral medallions, and fine beaded enamel details form a luxurious frame that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the central image, creating a harmonious balance between opulence and restraint.

The reverse bears the underglaze blue beehive mark and the inscribed title “Chrysanthemum,” confirming its identity and its place within the tradition of Vienna and Bohemian porcelain studios. The plate measures approximately 24.5 cm in diameter .

The piece is in excellent antique condition, with only minor imperfections consistent with age . There are no chips, cracks, or repairs, and the surface remains glossy and well preserved.

All photographs were taken in a professional studio using high-resolution equipment and controlled lighting to ensure accurate color and detail representation.

A refined and evocative work that captures a fleeting, gentle moment — a portrait not only of a woman and flowers, but of quiet emotion and timeless elegance.

A truly elegant and collectible Royal Vienna-style cabinet plate , rich in detail and artistry, perfect for display or as a highlight in any fine porcelain collection.
