Haviland service plates, dishes on pedestals and soup tureen

Rare 23-piece Haviland Limoges porcelain dinner service, decorated with flowers, foliage and branches, art nouveau design. Rare because it is in excellent condition, except for a small chip on 1 of the compotiers (photo) and also because the pattern could be by Girardin, Haviland's decorator. Research (carried out by the British Museum when acquiring a piece of this service) would indicate that this service is titled 'Parisian Flowers'. There is a reference to this pattern in Jean d'Albis' book, "Haviland" p. 41. The pattern is quite similar. This is therefore a historical Haviland service! 1 soup tureen with its chiseled base decorated with small golden cabochons (width 20.5cm/depth: 12cm) 1 fruit bowl on pedestal (diameter: 25.5cm) 2 serving dishes on pedestal (diameter: 22cm) 11 dinner plates (diameter: 24cm) 8 dessert plates (diameter: 21.5cm) Several marks indicating the years of manufacture. A "Vve Trapé Toulouse" stamp provides information on the House that ordered this service. Years of production: 1876-1879.
