But what exactly does it mean? Let's see together!

Porcelaine de luxe
It indicates a luxury porcelain, made with the highest quality materials, refined finishes and great artisanal care. This type of porcelain was (and often still is) intended for aristocratic tables, embassies, luxury hotels or demanding collectors.

Médaille d'Or
This mention ("gold medal") refers to awards obtained during international exhibitions (such as the universal exhibitions between the 19th and 20th centuries), where porcelain manufacturers presented their best services.
It was an official recognition of excellence.

The plate is hand-decorated with the image of an elegant English Setter, and I could not resist the temptation to propose it to you .

The plate is an important piece because it is rare, collectible and finely decorated in gold.
