Charming set of four antique Bavarian porcelain plates, each with a different hand-applied fruit motif — grapes, apples, berries and mixed fruit — giving the set beautiful variety and display appeal. The softly scalloped rims and original gold trim pair wonderfully with classic or cottage-style décor.
Marked New York / Z.S.&Co / Bavaria, these plates were produced in Bavaria and exported to the United States during the early 20th century, a hallmark of well-made export porcelain circa 1910–1920.
Perfect as kitchen wall décor, display plates, or part of an antique china collection, this set brings warmth and nostalgia to any space.
