Vintage Hand Painted Purple Violets Sauce Dish and Underplate
A beautiful vintage hand painted sauce dish and underplate set. Oval shaped, gently scalloped shallow bowl and underplate. The bowl has a reticulated handle adored with sprays of shaded purple violets. Just a tad larger, the plate matches. Both trimmed in gold gilt and a soft blue sides and backing. So lovely!
The bowl measures 6 1/8 by 5 inches. Stands about 1 3/8 inches tall. The saucer or underplate measures 6 7/8 by 5 1/2 inches. The saucer is marked, "Germany." Signed by the artist, "E. Rice." of Erie, PA. One tiny nick from the bottom of the underplate. Otherwise, excellent condition.
