Description: Heavy platter for a punch bowl, Mettlach Villeroy & Boch, pattern 2087, circa 1902. This platter has the relief ornamentation and colors popular in the Art Nouveau period. The scrolled plaques contain incised sayings concerning drinking in old German script. In nearly mint condition, with manufacturing defects of clay pinholes in the center portion of the charger. The glaze is fully in the pinholes, they do not detract from the appearance and they are original to the piece. There is one very tiny ding on the edge of the platter rim, not visible from the front or the back, only when you look closely at the edge do you see this rough spot of less than 1 millimeter. (I just mention it to be precise!) Marked with the Castle with its' linked VB, pattern number, date '02' and ususal Mettlach mystery number on the back. Lovely SOFT colors of sage green, ivory and coral red. This piece is heavy, 8 lbs. Location: Jackson, MS
