Antique Haviland plate with a beautiful floral decoration. Size: Approximately 15.5cm Haviland LIMOGES FRANCE Made in France Vintage Founded in 1842. Won consecutive awards at the Paris Exposition, etc. Developed designs that followed the flow of art history. This is a Haviland plate that combines traditional and modern patterns. In 1901, it was favored by the Empress of Napoleon III. From the era of President Giscard d'Estaing in 1974, it is still used as tableware for dinner parties at the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French President. Shining brilliantly in the history of porcelain, it is a brand loved by many enthusiasts and highly popular as a work of art. Made 100% in France, these dishes truly embody the "French art of the dining table." I acquired this from a collection at a Western tableware shop in Ginza when I purchased an antique cup, due to the nature of my work. It is quite antique, but in good condition.
