Minton Pate-sur-pate plate by Alboin Birks late C19th















A Superb Minton Pate-sur-pate Plate
by Alboin Birks 
Late 19th century

In the Triple Panel and Gilded 3697 pattern designed by Birks and later adopted by Tiffany's for their commissioned pieces in the early 1900's.

It is a beautiful plate that was created using the block transfer technique developed by Birks for the gilded sections and the hand painted paste on paste technique for the panels.
I have included photograph no. 6 that may not be the best angle ever taken of a plate but it does display the raised gilding to its full effect when placed on a table. Also, in photograph 13 I've tried to show where Alboin Birks has initialled the panel.

9" across with 2-2 1/2" panels

Only one slight flaw to bring to your attention - photograph 9 - and that is on the back of the plate where there is a gap in the circle of gilding - probably missed by the painter.

 
The high postage cost is to cover the insurance cost of this rare and high value piece. I do combine postage for two or more items - the revised price depends on the weight and value of the combined items and the respective charge that will be levied by Royal Mail. Please contact me to calculate the combined postal and insurance cost.

 

If you require other photographs - please email me

 

 Thank you for looking and please pop back as over the next few days I will be listing more of my antiques ranging from 18th century Georgian right through to 20th century Art Deco - furniture, silver and other decorative or functional objects and more Royal Crown Derby
