This is a very rare and beautiful Haviland Limoges PRESIDENTIAL cobalt and gold trim drop rose SALAD PLATE ...There were few of these pieces manufactured and most are in private collections. A set in this pattern was sold to President and Mrs. McKinley in the year 1900 for their personal use. This was just one year before President McKinley was assassinated. Because of this the pattern is considered by some to be Presidential china and is referred to as "Presidential Drop Rose" It is undoubtly the most desired and rare drop rose pattern ever made. You will rarely see any of these china pieces sold on the open market. The pattern is called "Drop Rose" and is a variant of Schleiger #55 a Haviland classic. This fabulous pattern is highly sought by even the most advanced collectors. The bowl is a medium/dark pink rather than the lighter dusty pink and is hard to find it has a high price valuation in all of the books. I have read about it but have not seen it pictured in any of the normal collector books. "Drop Rose" is one of the most elegant Haviland patterns ever made and a delight to the eye. This is the most unusual and beautiful of all drop rose patterns.

I believe this piece is on blank #4 which is one of the most beautiful of the Haviland blanks. The beautiful delicate Butter Dish has a beautiful domed lid and simple white insert with gold trim. Under the beautiful decorated dome is the plate that has the fabulous drop rose decoration and a wide circle of gold with an elegant design. There is one single rose dropping down from the gold design on the plate. ** STUNNING HAVILAND LIMOGES PRESIDENTIAL DROP ROSE LUNCH PLATE WITH COBALT & GOLD TRIM!!! ***BRIGHT WHITE SPOTS ARE JUST GLARE FROM THE CAMERA, NOT GOLD LOSS OR DAMAGE*** The trim on this piece has the cobalt on the rim with a gold weaved trim on it for about 1/4 inch and just under the trim is another golden design.
