From an estate in the back country of Greenwich CT, I purchased these most fabulous dinner plates. Made in France by the Theodore Haviland Co, The plate is 10 inches across with raised or encrusted gilt and beading. Fabulous details that are hard to find in today's market. Great to use for entertainment or just sit on your cabinet for people to admire. Three carries the green hallmarks dates to the 1900s, and one carries the "H. R. Macy's Co", indicating the retailer. All 4 plates are in great condition, no chips or cracks. do observe minor gilt loss along the rim, but not those raised gold. Just an amazing set of 4 plates for you to enjoy. An American, David Haviland, was an importer of French and English porcelains during the early to mid-1800's. In 1849 he moved his family to Limoges, France, to begin his own porcelain manufacturing and decorating factory and as a result, Haviland China, was born. Upon his death in 1879, his two sons split the company. Charles formed Haviland Co., while Theodore formed Theodore Haviland. These fabulous plates are from the Theodore Haviland Company.
