The overglaze blue shield mark indicates that this plate was not made by the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory. If it was VPM, the shield mark would be underglaze blue. This plate is signed.

This cabinet plate is in very good original condition with wear consistent with age and use. There are no rim chips, but there is slight wear to the gilded cavetto.
