Limoges Hand painted Berry Plates
Limoges Hand painted Berry Plates
Here are two absolutely gorgeous plates that will enhance any area they are displayed. One features blueberries while the other features raspberries. Each is skillfully painted; however, I have not found an artist signature on them. They are a wonderful pair and both are marked Limoges France on the back.
Both plates are in great shape. There are a couple of small black dots on one that appear to be from the manufacturing process. There is some staining on the back rim of one plate. This appears as though it may be paint from its production. The blueberry plate has some grey in the cream on one side. I believe this is a wash from the paint. There are no cracks, chips, or crazing. These are wonderful display pieces. I believe they were made to be cabinet plates due to the satin feel of the finish from the paint. They do not have a smooth finished surface.
Approximate Size: 9 inches in diameter
