Classic French Elegance
Offered for your consideration is a beautiful set of three authentic hard-paste porcelain saucers/plate from the world-renowned Haviland & Co. factory in Limoges, France. These plates represent the height of Victorian and Edwardian dining sophistication.
The Iconic "Autumn Leaf" Pattern
This set features the timeless Autumn Leaf design (identified as Schleiger 196). The pattern is celebrated for its delicate, scattered maple leaves in a warm autumnal palette of golden yellow, burnt orange, and soft sage green. The "Old World" charm of this set makes it a perfect addition to a Grandmillennial table setting or a traditional Thanksgiving display.
Double Backstamped for Authenticity
Each plate features two distinct marks on the reverse, confirming their historical origin:
The Green "Haviland France" Underglaze Mark: Identifying the porcelain blank (c. 1894–1931).
The Red "Decorated by Haviland & Co. Limoges" Overglaze Mark: Confirming the pattern was applied at the Haviland factory (c. 1889–1931).
