ANTIQUE DELINIERES D&C RARE (7) 3 3/8" DESSERT PLATES 1887-1915 LIMOGES FRANCE

Description: ANTIQUE DELENIERES LIMOGE SEVEN MINI DESSERT PLATES Purchased set of antique dishes at an estate sale. These had always been in one family. The original family owner had them brought to to her by mule from Mexico to her Texas home. Shipped from New York. They were a wedding present for her.Higgins & Seiter was a New York business from 1887 to February 1915 that sold quality porcelain.D & C stands for Delinieres & Cie which operated in Limoges, France. All of the dishes in the set are marvelous antiques. Each of the dishes will be described as they are listed. It will take a while to list them all, since I do have other items to list also, but if you are interested in knowing if I have a particular item, please ask. This listing is for seven mini plates in almost perfect condition except one which has the gold chipped away on the top of the plate. The chip does not go through to the bottom so it can be used is or touched up with gold paint. Some have minor gold wear. One may look like a chip on the edge but I have looked closely and it is the way it was manufactured and has some gold on the very edge - not a chip. No crack or crazing. As you can see by the ruler, they are just a bit over 3" in diameter. I understand they were to serve small items such as chocolates, mints or small pieces of fruit. Have not seen these before; seem to be very rare. I believe they are hand painted, as at the time of manufacture, most decoration was. If seriously interested in the entire set, please contact me. The set includes 8 dinner and 8 salad plates, relish dishes, tureens (2 sizes) dessert plates, tiny 3" plates for serving a chocolate or other tiny item, sauce bowls, dessert plates, cups, small flat serving platter or plate, soup bowls and serving bowl. All items will be listed in the future and will be sold per listing or will be combined if you contact me first. Will be glad to give you a complete count. P 24119
