ABOUT THIS PIECE
These French porcelain plates have a gently scalloped outline with raised, molded details around the border. Loose sprays of tiny pink, pink-purple, and pale taupe blossoms with olive-green leaves decorate each plate. The small center florals varies slightly from plate to plate.
The pattern is identified as Schleiger 444-1, a Haviland design on blank 2/13. Without gold trim, the plates have a softer, more informal character than many traditionally decorated Limoges patterns.
The undersides bear the green Haviland France factory mark and the red Haviland & Co. Limoges decorator's mark, both introduced in the late nineteenth century. Their form, decoration, and markings are consistent with porcelain from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, so these may well be antique. However, because the marks remained in use over an extended period, an exact production date cannot be confirmed.
INSPIRATION
These would be charming for a luncheon, salad course, or dessert. Pair them with white linens and silverplate for a softly romantic table, or use them outdoors for a garden lunch with a simple bouquet of flowers. Their muted colors and delicate decoration also make them easy to mix with other vintage white or floral china.
Styling props shown in photos are not included. Listing is for one set of two plates only.
