1876 Haviland Limoges Dessert Set: Hand-Painted Fruit Plates Spring Dining

I love antique dessert sets because of their versatility for today's lifestyles. The size of their plates is right along with the luncheon plate size of tableware manufactured today.
The set offered in this listing is a 12-piece antique Limoges dessert set manufactured by H and Co., decorated with hand-painted fruit on all pieces.
It is richly gilded on all pieces.
The manufacturer's mark is on the pink and aqua cake plates.
Romantic multi-colored borders and gilded rims surround the charming center design.
The set includes three double-handled cake plates, two small dessert platters, and seven dessert plates.
The two oval serving dishes are from Haviland, France, and date later.
However, they were decorated by Haviland & Co. and blend perfectly with this set.
I have used sets like these for breakfast guests, lunch with a special friend, and dessert with my grandchildren. There may be many other opportunities where the brocante style and old-world romance of this antique china elevate your level of entertaining.
