I collected oyster plates for years and this is by far the most beautiful plate I have ever seen. The 24 karat gold embellishes the blue ocean theme which accentuates the Elegance of this plate. It doesn’t get much more elegant and special as this. The vintage or antique oyster plate by Welmar features a scalloped edge round shape in blue, gold, and white porcelain, Made in Germany in the the probable mid-20th century, it is hand-painted with a Victorian style, 24k gold trim, and a glossy finish. In all my research, I have never found another place such as this one, so it may be more of an antique than vintage. The plate has 6 oyster placement and a gorgeous scalloped edge decorative design, perfect for all occasions. I have a total of four of these available but have two decided to sell individually unless someone is interested in all four.
