For your consideration, I am pleased to offer this magnificent set of ten 5 7/8" Dresden saucers imported from Austria to the us by Richard Briggs of Boston. These saucers are decorated in an assortment of beautiful hand painted Dresden flowers, each plate having a different flower design and trim swags in gold. Two of the saucers have the multiple floral design and the rest have five outer flower design as seen in the photos. The mark on the bottom is two different RB Boston marks -it looks like these saucers were collected over a period of time where the importer may have changed the design of his mark.
Notice how the bodies gently twist adding dimension to the design. One plate has a fish flake chip on the underside of the rim. The rest are in great condition with little to no wear to the gold.
