Angelica Kauffman miniature plate

Hello, I have this miniature plate among other articles that i inherited from my grandmother. I will like to know what’s the meaning on the back of it and if possible a value. I really appreciate any input. Tks!

Hi, Vanessa, and welcome!

To me, it looks as if someone made a transfer pattern of Angelika Kauffmann's (1741-1807) 1780 painting Beauty Directed by Prudence, Wreathed by Perfection and put it on a little keepsake dish.

p.s. I really like the "display gizmo" attached to the back of that plate. I wonder if identifying the stand will help ID the maker of the plate itself?

 

Kauffman transfer plates are pretty easy to find. I think the only value would be sentimental.

 

It's possible that a Limoges mark is hiding under that sticker on the back but it probably won't make much difference. As Janet noted value is mostly as a keepsake. If you do a search on ebay for "Limoges miniature plate" you'll see a number of Angelica Kauffman examples. Most sell in the $5 - $10 range per plate. You can put together a nice collection fairly cheaply though.
