Limoges Avirant Antique Vintage Soup Plate, Pasta Plate, Large Plate Set of 2 Beautiful soup plates with gentle colors and gold trim purchased at an overseas antique shop. I believe this design from Avirant is a rare find. It's quite unusual and a rare plate. There is some fading of the gold trim due to aging, but that is part of the charm of an antique, and I would like to sell it to someone who appreciates this atmosphere. In Europe and America, these plates are meant to be used as soup plates for course meals, but as a Japanese person, I think they would also be lovely for pasta, carpaccio, salads, or prosciutto with melon. They surprisingly match Japanese food as well. The gold trim doesn't have a flashy feel, and the overall atmosphere is very gentle, so I recommend them for everyday use. Of course, they are also gorgeous plates for events like New Year's and Christmas. I have only used them once and washed them with water. Since they are originally old items, I cannot recommend them to those who are looking for the shine of current products. However, the white porcelain part still has a luster, so I think they are in good condition as old items. Shipping may be changed to either Yu-Yu Mercari or Raku-Raku Mercari. I will ship within 24 hours whenever possible, but there may be times when I cannot respond immediately, so please contact me in advance if you are in a hurry. Please purchase only if you understand that these are personally purchased, home-stored items, and used items. As it is a personal inspection, there may be oversights that are not intentional. I pack as carefully as possible, but it's just me, a novice, trying my best, including reusing materials. I generally receive satisfaction from everyone, but if you are too strict, you may not be satisfied, so it may be safer to refrain from purchasing. I hope that those who share my values and tastes will find this a good deal, so thank you very much. - Design: White plates with gold decoration - Size: Large plate size - Style: Classic style tableware Thank you for viewing.
