Set of Six Haviland Limoges Bread and Butter Plates, Bergère, 1958

A beautiful Set of six Haviland Limoges porcelain bread and butter plates in the Bergère pattern, made in France and decorated with delicate pale blue floral sprays over a luminous white porcelain ground. Each plate features the pattern’s graceful spiral-molded rim, softly scalloped edge, subtle blue floral accents, and refined French porcelain body, creating a light, elegant, and romantic table presence.

The Bergère pattern is associated with Haviland Limoges production from the mid-twentieth century, with market references and replacement listings identifying examples from around 1958. The design combines the refinement of Limoges porcelain with a fresh blue floral decoration that feels timeless, airy, and distinctly French. The scalloped spiral rim adds movement and texture, while the small bouquet motif gives the plates a delicate domestic charm.

These plates are best described as bread and butter plates, though they are equally lovely for dessert, small salad, fruit, pastries, tea service, or layered table settings. Their size is typically listed around 6 to 6 3/8 inches across for this pattern, so I would enter the diameter as approximately 6 3/8 inches unless you measure them differently. They display beautifully stacked in a cabinet, arranged on open shelving, or mixed with other Limoges, transferware, silver plate, crystal, linen, and collected French tableware.

Haviland is one of the most recognized names in Limoges porcelain, admired for its fine white body, elegant decoration, and long connection to refined table services. This Bergère set captures that tradition in a soft and understated way, making it ideal for collectors of French porcelain, blue floral tableware, vintage Limoges, and romantic domestic objects.

Presented in vintage condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to mid-twentieth-century porcelain, including possible minor wear to the rim or decoration. A refined and charming set of six Haviland Limoges Bergère bread and butter plates with classic French elegance and timeless table appeal.
