6 ANTIQUE LIMOGES GDA Plates White/Gold RARE WOW! NR!

Prized when new, Limoges was the “good china” in many homes, and was well kept to pass to future generations. Today, these heirloom pieces let us share a part of the past, enjoy their lasting beauty and appreciate their growing value with the years.

Lavish and unusual items were staples of the elaborate Victorian lifestyle, and the pure quality and gorgeous decoration offered by the Limoges firms suited it well. Limoges potters offered a plethora of art objects (vases, jardinieres, tankard and bowl sets); decorative accessories (dresser sets, trinket boxes, humidors, inkwells); and table china. China sets could include everything from berry sets, cider pitchers, cracker & jam jars, teapots and chocolate sets to regular dishes and serving pieces, making them the favorites of new brides- and even the White House banquet room.

Limoges was always considered a premium product, in part due to the strong yet delicate nature of porcelain. Fired and refired at increasingly high temperatures, Limoges pieces allow diffused light to pass through, making them more dainty in feel rather than heavy earthenware and pottery. This proved a boon in Victorian parlors, where light was at a premium and seems an equally attractive idea on dim winter days. Porcelain also resists crazing (those little ‘age cracks’ some pottery gets between the overglaze and the pottery body).

This ANTIQUE fine china set from Limoges, France includes 6 large 9 3/4" dinner plates. The back of the plates have "GDA" stamped on them.  5 of 6 dinner plates have chips out of them and one is in great condtion (see photos). The design on this beautiful set  is a thick gold wreath pattern around the edge.  These would make an AWESOME addition to any Limoges Collection or dressing up your dining table with this elegant set!
