Each plate measures approximately 6 inches in diameter, making the set ideal for bread and butter service, dessert, small bites, tea service, pastries, fruit, or layered table settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plates have the refined quality associated with Haviland Limoges porcelain: a luminous white porcelain body, graceful molded edges, delicate floral decoration, and gold trim that adds a subtle formal accent. The purple flower motif gives the set a romantic and feminine presence without feeling overly ornate, while the scalloped rim adds movement and softness to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaviland Limoges was one of the most recognized French porcelain makers, especially known for fine white porcelain and elegant decorated table services produced for refined domestic use. Similar Haviland Limoges bread and butter plates with floral decoration, scalloped edges, and gilt trim are commonly found in 6-inch format, which supports identifying these as bread and butter plates rather than dinner or luncheon plates.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is best described as 20th-century Haviland Limoges unless the backstamp confirms a narrower date. The form and decoration are consistent with early-to-mid twentieth-century French porcelain tableware, but I would not assign a specific pattern name without a clearer mark or pattern reference. The pieces display beautifully stacked in a cabinet, arranged on open shelving, or mixed with silver plate, linen, crystal, floral porcelain, transferware, and collected French tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in vintage condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to porcelain tableware, including possible minor gilt wear or natural surface marks. A lovely and useful set of seven Haviland Limoges purple floral bread and butter plates with graceful French character and timeless decorative appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1stDibs reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e LU10969250747212\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victorian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H .5 × W 6 × D 6 IN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e GOOD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50273652048111,"sku":"LU10969250747212","price":682.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/f_50747212_1782482784929_bg_processed.jpg?v=1785434607","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/haviland-limoges-purple-floral-bread-and-butter-plates-france-1930-50747212","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
