Limoges porcelain dessert service

This beautiful series of 10 dessert plates and a matching cake dish is made of limoges porcelain. Dating back to the mid-20th century, the plates are adorned with a polychrome frieze of flower baskets, medallions and stylized garlands. In luminous shades of green, yellow, blue, this dessert service is enhanced with gilding. The porcelain factories of limoges are famous since the 18th century. Porcelain makers have been awarded several times during their participation in world exhibitions in london, paris, vienna, philadelphia and chicago. In 1925, the international exhibition of decorative arts conferred on limoges the title of "international capital of porcelain". Inspired by decoration and fashion trends, the limoges table is synonymous with the french art of living. Lafarge was a manufacturer and decorator. Limoges porcelain is exceptionally white and translucent. Of high quality, the pieces are worked with finesse and the ornaments are elegant. In beautiful condition, these plates bear the brand "limoges france". I point out some traces of uses - micro-chips and wear of the gilding. The plates are 19 cm in diameter and the flat 26 cm.
