These wonderful plates are French majolica, made sometime between about 1900 and 1930. They are each in the form and color of a deep sea scallop shell. The deep coral color in the center of the plate fades to a lighter color towards the rim. Each plate is about 6" in diameter, each has a little crazing in the glaze (almost invisible), and each is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips or repairs. Priced individually. (Two left.)
Offered here are 6 hand painted, floral or botanical motif, French Old Paris plates that date to around 1900. They are absolutely lovely, and will make a wonderful grouping. Each plate has a different flower represented on the front. Each plate has the same green border and gilt enamel scalloping on the edge. There are some minimal spots of white showing through two or three of the plates, which only shows that the plates are early. I think you can tell these apart from highlighting...

They measure about 7.25" in diameter. The gilding on the edge is worn some, and there is a tight hairline on the butterfly plate (barely visible)...
This is just a fabulous antique French porcelain toiletry box in a charming sea life motif. Made by Jules Lesme from Limoges, France, between 1853-1881. In 1853 he received a patent for the art of lead oxide enamelling on porcelain. He is the only known ceramist to have produced rustic porcelain ware.
