Richard Wehsener • Dresden, Germany • Rosenthal Selb-Bavaria • Hand-Painted Portraits • Christie’s Provenance

An exceptional Dresden porcelain cabinet plate decorated by Richard Wehsener, featuring five finely hand-painted portrait medallions and elaborate raised gilt and turquoise enamel decoration.

Measuring an impressive 10 inches in diameter, each portrait is framed within an ornate raised gilt cartouche, surrounded by richly detailed gold floral and beaded ornamentation against a luminous white porcelain ground.

The reverse retains handwritten red script identifying the individual portraits, along with the blue “W” shield / Dresden Germany decorating mark associated with Richard Wehsener.

Recent examination using transmitted light revealed a concealed Rosenthal factory mark beneath the gold decoration, reading “Rosenthal / SELB-BAVARIA.” The mark identifies Rosenthal as the manufacturer of the porcelain blank and is clearly documented in the final two photographs.

Especially noteworthy, the plate retains a Christie’s auction label marked “SX688 / 213,” providing desirable auction provenance.

Created as a decorative cabinet piece rather than everyday tableware, this exceptional plate would make an impressive addition to a collection of Dresden porcelain, Rosenthal, portrait porcelain or European decorative arts.
