Haviland Limoges Porcelain Cake Plate, Handled, Vintage/Antique, Collectible

This handled cake plate was crafted by the coveted brand Haviland in Limoges, France. It features a yellow laurel and black dot edge design and trimmed in gold around the rim and ornately at the open handles. According to Replacements, this discontinued pattern is assigned Schleiger No. 573. The plate has diameter of 9 7/8” and is 10 5/8” handle tip to tip. Other online sellers have identified the combination of backstamps as a piece that was produced and decorated between 1894 and 1931; thus, it is possible that it has moved into the realm of the antique. Given its age, this piece is in very nice vintage condition with no chips, cracks or repairs, stains, crazing, and very little bottom wear. You may find some very light utensil marks that can only be seen up close and when turned to the light just so.

This plate would be perfect in a collection or as a gift. Just imagine how lovely this would present a fabulous home-made cake. (Oh my, one could almost taste the orange buttercream!)
