Decorative Plate, Mignon Pattern, Pink Cabbage Roses, Bavaria Germany, Zeh Scherzer & Co., Antique 1908

Zeh, Scherzer & Co. was so highly regarded in its day that their work was compared to Rosenthal and Hutschenreuther — and the Mignon pattern, introduced around 1908, shows exactly why.

Pink cabbage roses trail with green leaves across an open white center and into the border, finished with the characteristic swirl edge and gold rim that made this pattern so coveted. The Z.S.&C. mark on the back and the pattern introduction date place this between 1908 and 1918. Minor surface scratches and light wear on the gold rim are consistent with over a century of existence and do not diminish the beauty of the piece.
