A finely decorated French porcelain plate in the pâte-sur-pâte technique, the center featuring a raised white classical male profilean elderly bearded figure in a hooded mantle modeled in relief against a mottled terracotta-red ground. The portrait medallion is framed by a gilt border resembling a laurel wreath.
The cavetto and rim are decorated with a dense "vermiculé" (worm-track) pattern in deep slate-blue and black, highlighted with stylized branches and berries in raised enamel, and finished with gilt edges. The artistic combination of pâte-sur-pâte portraiture with an Art Nouveau–influenced botanical border is characteristic of French luxury porcelain of the Sèvres school, ca. 1880–1900.
D: 8 1/2 in., (21.6 cm.)
Very good condition with minor expected wear to the gilded rim. No visible chips or cracks. Relief portrait crisp and well-preserved.
