Limoges T & V French Plates with Seashell Paintings by M.H. Dismukes in 1898

Two painted in iron red and six painted in grisaille.

A beautiful set of five Limoges France hand-painted porcelain decorative plates, each with a softly scalloped edge and naturalistic fruit decoration. The plates feature a warm painterly palette of greens, yellows, reds, and deep berry tones, with hand-painted clusters of grapes, cherries, berries, leaves, and soft botanical accents over a pale porcelain ground. Each plate varies slightly in composition, giving the group the charm of individually decorated porcelain while remaining visually cohesive as a set. The softly shaded backgrounds, fruit motifs, and scalloped rims give these plates a romantic French table presence, somewhere between decorative cabinet plates and light serving plates. They are especially lovely for wall display, open shelving, a china cabinet, or a layered table setting, and they can also be used for light serving of fruit, pastries, cookies, dry desserts, or small bites. Because of the hand-painted decoration and age of the porcelain, hand washing is recommended, and they should not be placed in the dishwasher or microwave. Limoges porcelain has long been admired for its fine white body, delicate decoration, and association with refined French domestic tableware. Hand-painted fruit and floral plates were especially popular in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Limoges production, often made as cabinet plates, dessert plates, or decorative table pieces. This set captures that tradition beautifully, with a collected, painterly quality and wonderful decorative warmth. Presented in vintage condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to hand-painted porcelain tableware. Minor surface variation, gentle gilt wear, or age-related marks may be present. A charming and decorative Limoges France set...
