Circa 1880 KPM Porcelain Plaque of Winemaker & Patron (LeD)

This exquisitely framed KPM porcelain plaque, dating circa 1880, captures a charming scene of camaraderie between a winemaker and his patron, meticulously hand-painted by an unknown artist. Set in a rustic wine cellar, the plaque portrays the winemaker in a traditional white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a purple waistcoat, holding a glass of red wine aloft as if making a toast. His jovial expression and relaxed posture convey a sense of pride and satisfaction in his craft. Seated beside him, the patron, clad in an elegant red coat and tricorne hat, leans in with a pleased smile, resting one hand on his knee while the other holds a cane.

The background features large wooden wine barrels and dimly lit arches, adding depth and atmosphere to the scene. A small, playful dog at the patrons' feet adds a touch of whimsy and life to the tableau, while a rustic bench and scattered barrels underscore the informal, friendly nature of this meeting. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the finely rendered expressions, intricate textures of the fabrics, and the subtle play of light and shadow, which give the scene a lively, almost narrative quality.

Encased in an ornate gilded frame with red velvet matting that enhances the rich tones of the scene, this piece is both a visual and historical delight. The back of the plaque bears the iconic KPM scepter mark, attesting to its authenticity and heritage. Whether displayed in a dining room, study, or collection of fine porcelains, this plaque is sure to captivate viewers and spark conversations about the joys of wine and companionship. Perfect for collectors of antique porcelains or enthusiasts of German artistry, this KPM plaque is a timeless treasure.
