The provenance, or history of this particular family heirloom:Brought to America by my great grandmother in 1912,
and now offered for the discriminating buyer and connoisseur of fine art:
a beautiful 19th century Biedermeier Krister KPM Porcelain Table Prayer Plate.
c. 1840 - 1895
(not to be confused with KPM Berlin)This lovely 9 1/2" round plate is inscribed:"Komm Herr Jesu - Sei unser Gast.""Come Lord Jesus - Be Our Guest"The Common Table Prayer was first published in the year 1753 in a Moravian hymnal,
Etwas vom Liede Mosis, des Knechts Gottes, und dem Liede des Lammes,
das ist: Alt- und neuer Bruder-Gesang. The title was Tisch-Gebetgen, or Table Prayer.
There are possibilities that the prayer is from an older text with Lutheran origins.Dietrich Meyer put as author of the prayer "author unknown". In the Evangelisch-Lutherisher Gebets-Schatz or Evangelical-Lutheran Prayer Treasures,
the prayer is attributed to Martin Luther, but this is highly speculative.During the late 1970's, while living in Europe,
when it was permitted to celebrate Mass in private homes,
our family used this plate as a communion plate.Decorated with a light pink, green, and yellow floral designand scalloped edging.

It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks,
and would make a wonderful gift or addition
to any antique plate or Religious collection.
