Duke of Gloucester Vista Alegre Mottahedeh porcelain platter 11 1/2"

Description

Here is a very expensive Mottahedeh Vista Alegre Portugese porcelain 11 1/2" colorful heavy platter I recently purchased from the china closet of a very affluent home in Westport, CT. It was apparently reproduced by the Williamsburg Restoration project from the original design for the Duke of Gloucester and is hallmarked by Vista Alegre. I see it has been deemed both a platter or a "long plate" .There are no chips,cracks, or repairs and only a few very faint sparse utensil marks. For extreme accuracy.It is very vibrant and colorful. There is a small area of wear to one green edge and an area on one of the two hanging orange fruits and associated green leaves on the bottom of the bountiful capture where there appears to be a short line of transfer loss, possibly a light scrape or scratch off from a utensil edge?  Both issues fairly minor but I study all my listings closely and critically prior to offering them sale and am initially a discriminating buyer myself. I took photos of all issues but don't be bashful if you have additional questions about this extraordinary offering .Shipping charge on calculator INCLUDES postal insurance to the initial Ebay export hub or anywhere in the USA for continental clients .Please bear in mind that International buyers will incur additional postage after Ebay assumes responsibility and finalizes customs arrangements for final export.
