It's pure Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil, as the Germans called it): a pink wild flower and two magenta buds float in a curvy white panel edged in gold and tiny gold dots, while long, swooping leaves wrap around it on a brushed olive green ground. Every leaf and stem is outlined in fine gold, and the green fans out in soft rays toward a gilded rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn it over and you'll find a red overglaze stamp reading \"Gesetzlich Geschützt,\" German for \"protected by law,\" which marked a registered design. There's also a hand-painted red pattern number and a faint blue underglaze factory mark, partly hidden under the red stamp and too blurred to identify. It's the kind of mark German porcelain makers and decorators used in the early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand painted porcelain with gold gilt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e German, marked \"Gesetzlich Geschützt\" with a hand-painted pattern number; blue factory mark unreadable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 1900 to 1915, Art Nouveau \/ Jugendstil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small round dish with a foot ring, about 1\" deep; works as a pin dish, ring dish or little bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 3 1\/4\" in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive green, white, pink and magenta, with gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good antique condition.
