A wonderful German wall plaque or cabinet plate by Shafer & Vater, circa 1890’s! This rare antique piece is composed of sage green Jasperware with white relief accents. It features a border of bamboo and lotus blooms. At center, this plaque depicts a stork standing in a lake. Two nude children crawl on the stork, while two other gleeful children watch in the background. Overall good condition but the stork has been repaired at the neck; no other damage was noted upon close inspec...tion. It measures approximately 6 inches in diameter. I have never seen another Jasperware plaque with this image. Unmarked. This Shafer & Vater treasure will make an exceptional addition to your Jasperware collection! I have several other similar pieces listed.
