(9) Porcelain Napkin Fold Plates ~ Hand Painted with Different Designs ~ H & Co (Haviland) 1876 – 1889

Antiques : Limoges : Porcelain

 

It always amazes me to find a group like this. How did they survive almost 132 years without being broken!!! All pieces have gold accents on the folded corners; these have minimal wear on them. Two of the plates have an ocean scene with sail boats. One of the boats actually has three passengers painted in it. Rim colors are celery green and baby blue. Two plates are decorated with beautiful detailed butterflies, rim colors are beige and a very pale pink. Three plates have beautiful wooden scenes. One shows a waterfall and a hunter walking and has a celery green rim the second one is a woodland scene and has a dark pink rim and the third one has trees by a lake or meadow with a beige rim. Another woodland scene depicts fishermen on a bank overlooking a river with a boat in the distance in quiet bay. The last amazing plate has deep pink wild roses with a beautiful yellow butterfly; this one has a baby blue rim. There are no hairlines or cracks; manufacturing anomalies do exist, the occasional tiny iron speck, dust 'bump' in the glaze, etc. These are just awesome and a must have for any Limoges lover!!
