Artwork by Boris Zworykin (1872-1942), with designs based on his illustrations that are now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plates were made by Heinrich Porzellan in Germany (part of Villeroy \u0026amp; Boch). Zworykin used gouache, a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water, that intensifies the brilliance of colors. Production methods for hard-paste porcelain plates, to be faithful to the original pastel colors, trimmed in 24K gold, making it possible, for example, to emphasize red and lilac shades from the original art. After firing is completed, at temperatures approaching 1500 F., the colors display a brilliance not often found on porcelain. Each of the 28 ceramic colors is applied before firing - a procedure that requires time, care, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Germany made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Perfect vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements: 21cm \/ 8,3\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEverything is shipped with insurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLittle Note About Vintage \u0026amp; Antiques:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease keep bearing in mind that, unless otherwise stated, this item is pre-loved, and has had a previous lifetime, or even several.
