Maker: On the reverse of these 2 lovely lunch plates is mark number 34 of the Theodore Haviland company, one of the great Limoges firms at the turn of the last century. This mark was in use between 1903 and 1925. Source: third edition of the Collector\'s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frank Gaston.
Design: The plates are lightly scalloped and beautifully hand painted with tiny pink roses and scrolls, in keeping with the exceptionally high quality that made the company\'s porcelain so famous and so coveted. Gold daubs add an additional touch of distinction.
They are on Haviland\'s St Germain blank number 118. The pattern is called Schleiger 144.
Many of the great Limoges companies produced variations of this classic and hugely popular pattern of delicate pink roses against a pure white background. That means these plates would easily blend into similar sets by many other Limoges makers. And of course, they would make a beautiful display on their own or as part of any collection of fine china.
Haviland pattern identification disclaimer: Haviland produced between 30,000 and 60,000 china patterns, many with only slight variations, and the identification of this item\'s pattern is not guaranteed.
