Art Nouveau Victoria China Plate

This plate features an Art Nouveau portrait of a young woman. It is marked Victoria Austria. No chips, cracks, or crazing have been observed. There are a couple of minor rubs in the paint near the flowers. 

These are vintage items which have a rich history. While I do my best to provide an accurate description, please closely review the photos to admire these items and review their unique history and idiosyncrasies.
