An exquisite curated set of 13 antique porcelain plates by the renowned maker Haviland & Co., produced in Limoges, France. This collection features the highly sought-after "Gainsborough" pattern (archived by collectors as Schleiger 746), beautifully decorated with delicate multi-colored floral sprigs, scattered pink roses, and a matching floral garland trim encircling a gently scalloped rim.
Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, each piece is clearly stamped on the reverse with the dual factory authentication marks: the green underglaze "Haviland France" blank mark and the brick-red overglaze "DECORATED BY Haviland & Co. Limoges" mark.
This robust set offers wonderful versatility for elegant entertaining or mixed-and-matched table settings. Having eight salad/luncheon plates provides a generous amount for dessert courses, appetizer spreads, or salad services alongside the five primary dinner plates. Perfect for traditional, French cottage, or grandmillennial aesthetics, or for gorgeous display in a formal china cabinet.
There are 7 over glazed factory flaws which do not affect the plates.

The porcelain retains a beautiful, bright glossy finish, and the multi-colored floral motifs remain vivid and crisp. No chips, cracks, or post-factory crazing. Please note that 7 of the plates feature minor, inherent manufacturing anomalies typical of turn-of-the-century porcelain firing: one plate has a small, smooth, glazed-over indentation near the reverse backstamp; another shows a few tiny mineral ash specks on the reverse rim; one features a small, shallow glaze skip dimple on the front basin; one features a couple of faint, small under-glaze iron oxidation spots on the front rim; one shows a smooth, dark brown kiln burn mark on the unglazed foot ring; and one plate features a smooth, glazed-over clay wrinkle/run on the reverse (pictured). The reverse sides also show original factory stilt marks/kiln scars from the manufacturing firing process. These are all factory-original characteristics and do not compromise the integrity or structural beauty of this lovely antique set. less
