Overview
A lot of three small decorative dishes from three different traditions. The Stonegate Sonata dish is white Bavarian porcelain painted with a pink rose, rosebuds and green-and-gray leaves inside a gold-tone rim. The Jingdezhen bowl is blue-and-white rice-grain porcelain, with a central blue flower, key-fret and scroll borders, orange-red floral sprays on the inner wall and a metal-banded rim; the small translucent "grains" show when it is held to the light. The rectangular Hebron tray is hand-painted in orange, yellow, pink, blue and green flowers on scrolling black vines over a white ground, framed by a speckled cobalt-blue rim. Together they make a colorful set for a vanity, dresser or entry table, as ring, key or trinket dishes.
Background
The Stonegate backstamp marks this dish as Bavarian porcelain made in Germany, and Sonata is a discontinued Stonegate rose pattern, so the dish also suits anyone completing a Sonata set. Rice-grain porcelain is a signature ware of Jingdezhen, China's best-known porcelain center; the bowl's base is marked in blue with the Chinese characters for "China Jingdezhen" and "MADE IN CHINA". The tray's black-outlined floral style and cobalt border are characteristic of Hebron pottery from the Palestinian city of Hebron; its glazed base is unmarked. None of the pieces is dated.
Condition
Good pre-owned condition with no chips or hairline cracks. The Hebron tray has fine crazing in the glaze on the base and light glaze wear at the foot, and the bowl's foot ring shows light brown staining from age and use. Sold as decorative pieces; please see all photos.
