Vintage METTLACH Villeroy & Boch ' FLOWER BOUQUET ' Artist Signed PAINTED Plaque
Item History & Price
This is a great piece. I just bought a collection of 4 original painted Mettlach plaques because I had never seen these type plaques before. I researched and researched and have been unable to find similar pieces. With all the Mettlach and Villeroy & Boch pieces out there, it has really surprised me that I have found no others. Each of the plaques is artist s...igned by the same artist that I believe reads 'A Krail' or Krait. I also have not been able to find anything about the artist. I cant figure out if these were done at the factory or they were simple blank plaques that Mettlach sold that some professional artist painted. The plaque measures 12 x 6 inches. It is a wonderful view of a floral bouquet of purple blue pink and yellow flowers. Signature is lower right. Painting is in excellent condition with no issues at all. Really beautiful. Back of the plaque is marked with "Mettlach" and "Made in Germany Saar" as well as some center mark that is hard to decipher. I think these plaques date to around the 1940-1960 period. Perhaps a little earlier. Original gold frame is complimentary and ready to hang. Frame measures 13 3/4 x 7 5/8 inches. If you collect Mettlach or like these plaques check my store for the other 3 I am offering. Happy to combine shipping. Add $5 more for S&H&I for each additional plaque you purchase.
