There is some wear to the gold on the rim of the plate, and to the green paint. No chips no cracks.

Wonderful hand painted plate! Embossed rim painted green, with heavy gold enamelled design surrounding the green, and a heavy gold enamelled swag. Little pink and yellow rose decals accented with hand applied enamel. This very decorative plate is 8 1/4 inches diameter. There are two marks on the back. One is a bird with "LIMOGES" above it, and "FRANCE" underneath. This is the white ware mark, meaning the factory that made the blank. This mark belongs to Vultury Freres, which was in business from 1887 to 1904. This mark is rarely seen. The other mark, B&H in a double circle, with LIMOGES FRANCE in the outer circle, is the decorator's mark. The decorating studio that used this mark is unidentified, but may have been used by Blakeman and Henderson. This mark is dated c. 1890. There is some wear to the gold on the rim of the plate, and to the green paint. No chips no cracks. |
