![]() Haviland Limoges Lunch Plate with Cabbage Roses, 1893-1930
item # 62789E
The design is of singles & bouquets of colorful roses just under the gold rim that flows down into the body of the plate in several places. The rose flowers are either wide open or partially opened buds. The piece has colorful beautiful roses surrounded by a beautiful double gold trim. The plate is very delicate, fine porcelain. It has a lightly scalloped rim that is trimmed in gold and has a raised beading on the inner rim that is also covered in gold. This piece is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or flakes. The gold is in very good condition. As with all antique china, there may be a factory dot or glaze skip, but nothing that takes away from the beauty of the pieces. Measures approximately 8 1/4" wide.
The marks on the bottoms of the piece are the over glazed Haviland and Co. over Limoges in red, and the green underglaze Haviland over France. The over glazed red mark is the Haviland mark #13, and the underglaze green mark is the Haviland mark #12 in the Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges. These marks date this piece back to between 1893 to 1930.
