Royal Vienna Porcelain Antique Cabinet Plate “aurora U. Cephales”, Signed Sibl

Royal Vienna Porcelain Cabinet Plate – “Aurora u. Cephales”, Signed Sibl, c. Mid-19th Century

A superb Royal Vienna porcelain cabinet plate featuring a beautifully hand-painted classical scene titled “Aurora u. Cephales”, signed by the artist Sibl. The composition depicts the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, reaching toward the mortal hunter Cephalus, with cherubs floating above. The painter’s mastery of anatomy, drapery, and mythological nuance is evident in every detail, reflecting the refined artistic sensibilities of mid-19th-century Viennese porcelain.

Surrounding the central image is a rich cobalt blue border, adorned with raised gilded scrollwork and acanthus leaf motifs—hallmarks of Royal Vienna’s luxurious style. The plate’s reverse bears the traditional blue beehive mark, indicative of its connection to the legacy of the Imperial and Royal Porcelain Manufactory of Vienna.

Although the original factory ceased operations in 1864, many fine-quality pieces were produced by successor workshops that honoured its styles and used similar marks. Plates signed by artists like Sibl are uncommon, and this finely executed work showcases the calibre and decorative standards associated with the Royal Vienna tradition.
