Limoges Porcelain Dessert Plates – Floral Elegance, circa 1920 Manufacture of Émile Madesclaire, Limoges
A refined set of six dessert plates in fine Limoges porcelain, exemplifying the grace and craftsmanship of early 20th-century French tableware. Produced circa 1920 in the atelier of Émile Madesclaire—an esteemed porcelain maker who founded his Limoges workshop in 1920—these plates reflect the romantic sensibilities and artisanal excellence of the period.
Each plate features a delicately hand-gilded scalloped rim, framing a central motif of soft pink roses interspersed with violet and yellow blossoms, set against tender green foliage. The floral composition, evocative of 19th-century decorative traditions, imparts a gentle charm and timeless elegance.
