These plates were kiln fired multiple times in order to achieve their beauty, risking damage at each firing, and without doubt, many were discarded in the pursuit of successful pieces such as these. Each bearing the marks of Richard Klemm, in remarkably good condition, circa 1880s. Due to their hand made nature, each plate has a unique painted floral pattern, making them even more attractive. less
