Peasant Village ("Parry Vieille") Very Rare Large 13.25" French Opera Platter

Description: This is a very rare size in the Peasant Valley French opera plate series. On-line, the largest I could find was 10", and this plate measures 13.25" in diameter. This platter has the opera "Mignon" as its center. Unlike other plates in the series, this larger version references other operats in the perimeter. Starting above & going clockwise, the Terre de Fer opera references are:- Mignon- La Muette de Portici (the Mute Girl of Portici)- Lucie de Lammermoor- Les Noces de Jeannette (Jeannette's Wedding)- Le Barbier de Seville (Barber of Seville)- Guillaume Tell (William Tell) The outermost rim is painted with gold trim. The plate is then circled in a forest green band. Designed to be the centerpiece of your collection. I will be offering two dinner plates in this series ("Faust" and "Les Dragons des Villars Maillart" . If of interest, please see my other items. Frequently misattributed to Parry Vieille, the PV hallmark was used by Mittledorfer, Strauss, Inc. of New York City on imported pieces. Mitteldorfer Straus registered the trademark for the first time in 1928. I have also seen these French opera plates misattributed to Pillyvuyt. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. If you have a question on an item prior to purchase, please ask. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
