Vintage Pastoral Courting Couple Plate with 22K Gold & Crown Topped Ornate Gilt Holder

Vintage Pastoral Courting Couple Plate with 22K Gold & Crown Topoed Ornate Gilt Holder

An exquisite treasure of Bohemian artistry, this vintage porcelain plate captures the elegance and romance of another era. The central scene depicts a lady and gentleman in a lush garden, caught in a tender moment of courtship. He kneels at her side with adoration, while she, draped in flowing garments of coral and ivory, gazes with both grace and poise — a timeless tableau of love and devotion reminiscent of Rococo painting.

The romantic vignette is framed by a deep cobalt border richly embellished with gilt, a detail made even more significant by the mark on the reverse: “Warranted 22 Karat Gold.” This ensures the shimmer of the gilding is not merely decorative, but a mark of quality and luxury.

Adding to its grandeur is the ornate crown topped gilt metal holder, a masterwork in its own right. Intricate filigree scrolls and openwork flourishes encircle the plate, crowned with a regal crest — transforming this piece into a display of stately beauty.

All of the pieces in this ESTATE DROP are from the same Monte Vista estate. 

Monte Vista in San Antonio is one of the city’s most prestigious historic districts, famed for its early 20th-century mansions, tree-lined streets, and grand architectural styles. Long regarded as a hub of old-money elegance and cultural heritage, it remains one of San Antonio’s most sought-after and storied neighborhoods.

Pieces like this are why I love Sourcing the South and the great state of Texas for heirloom estate decor…shopping estate sales, online auctions, charity thrift stores, and antique malls to carefully curate a collection of fantastic vintage and antique finds that have and will stand the test of time.
