Haviland Limoges France 1900s 3 Salad Plates Schleiger 52H Violets & Ferns, 7.5” PLEASE NOTE: The first image is an artistic representation; all other photos and the video show the actual item. Pictures are part of the description, please check them & let me know if you require additional ones. Good antique condition consistent with its age. Defects & imperfections – please check pictures made under the bright light & magnification: • Plate 1: three small chips - two to the gold rim, one to the white rim • Plate 2: one small chip to the white rim • Plate 3: intact, no chips or cracks Fascinating Fun Facts: • Backstamped with the black “Haviland / France” mark plus the red “Haviland & Co. / Limoges” mark - this two-mark combination was used between 1894 and 1931kg • Cataloged today as Schleiger 52H since Haviland never gave this pattern an official name — collector Arlene Schleiger assigned it a reference number decades later while documenting the company’s roughly 30,000 unnamed patterns • As true hard-paste porcelain, the body is thin enough to show translucency when held to light — a quality test that distinguishes genuine Limoges porcelain from heavier stoneware or earthenware Dimensions: 7.5 in Weight: 1 lb 8 oz
