Rosenthal Molière Porcelain Platter with Floral and Gilt Detail
About the Item
This vintage Rosenthal Molière porcelain platter is a stunning example of mid-century European fine china that balances ornamental charm with delicate craftsmanship. What makes this piece truly special is its lavish gilded detailing and baroque-style border, which frame a series of hand-applied floral motifs in vivid purples, pinks, and blues. The combination of raised scrollwork, scalloped edges, and 22-karat gold accents give it an air of regal elegance rarely found in contemporary tableware.
Made in Germany in the 1950s–60s, this platter belongs to Rosenthal's revered Molière collection—named after the famed French playwright, evoking the grandeur and theatrical flair of the Rococo period. Rosenthal, a manufacturer synonymous with quality and innovation since the late 19th century, designed this line to echo the elaborate beauty of 18th-century French porcelain, but with a lighter, more modern touch suitable for postwar homes looking to entertain with refinement.
This piece is not only decorative—it’s a functional heirloom. Its generous size makes it perfect for presenting fruit, hors d’oeuvres, or pastries at a festive gathering. For collectors and hosts alike, the exceptional condition, combined with the rare Molière pattern, makes it a worthy investment and a standout accent in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
Imagine a platter that feels more like a painted canvas than a piece of dinnerware. The florals are vibrant and lifelike, almost jewel-toned, and the gold embellishments catch the light in a subtle, romantic shimmer. The piece feels smooth and cool to the touch, yet substantial, and the ornate border is visually intricate but never overwhelming—elevating the everyday to the extraordinary.
