With a band of gold gilt designs around the central scene and another band of fancy Art Nouveau style gold gilt scrollwork and floral designs.
Marked on the reverse with a red Victoria crown Austria mark. This is an overglaze decorating mark used by Schmidt & Company between 1894 and 1918.
Has some wear to the gilding and some usage marks to the central image, but otherwise good condition with no chips or cracks.
