~~~ Delinieres & Co. France 1894-1900 ~~~ Our spectacular Cabinet Plate is antique Limoges porcelain manufactured AND factory decorated by D & Co. in France more than 100 years ago! It measures 9 3/4 inches across. Double marked , it bears the Deliniers white ware Mark 3 and the rare Deliniers decorator's Mark 5 in red script. Although Remy Deliniers began his porcelain business in the 1860s and had many associates along the way, he did not add a decorating studio to his factory in 1881. As a result, this particular decorator's mark was only used for six years and is rarely seen today. Clearly the work of Deliniers' studio artists was magnificent! This is one of the most opulent display plates we have ever offered. It may fairly be described as in Mint-like, Excellent, Antique Condition. It is absolutely free of chips, cracks or repairs. Despite its age, this stunning plate appears brand new in person ! << {{ Please excuse the red glare in our pictures ~ the Limoges porcelain is very glossy and it is reflecting the color of the fabric on to the plate in our photograps ~ this plate is flawless!! }}>> As you may know, cobalt and gold were among the most expensive raw materials used to decorate these plates. In addition, manufacturing them was very labor intensive; it is similar to the "Feu de Four" double-firing process attributed to Haviland in France. Because ridiculously expensive dinner ware had such an exclusive clientele, fewer sets with plates such as this were made and even fewer are in circulation today. This fact serves to add to their rarity and desirability. If you look closely, you will see an embossed, pearl-like pattern in the Limoges clay that has been heavily gilt with gold creating a beaded effect. Delicate, hand applied, enamel highlights glisten on several of the pink rose petals. This plate is a superior example of antique French Limoges porcelain ~ no detail has been overlooked!!
