Flower plates...so pretty

11 years ago

While I was looking for the bunny plates, I found some beautiful flower plates. They're dessert plates (about 7.5 inches across) and there are four of them. Two sweet peas and two pansies.

They are Jean Pouyat Limoges plates...and I found them online at CarolinaBlueLady. They arrived in excellent condition and they're lovely!

I only thought to download one picture (forehead slap!) but it's my favorite. Flowers and bunnies go together...right? :)

    LOL! Okay, that's a good point, the bunnies may eat the flowers :)

    I found the other three plates! I was hoping they would still be there, under 'images' and this looks much better than if I tried to take pictures, myself.

    Are they old? 'scuse me, vintage? They remind me of those early 20th century plates that ladies would decorate, some more successfully than others.

    Also, they scream EASTER, which brings bunnies to mind. Really good colors.

    I was thinking the same thing, fori, they remind me of a plate a great-aunt painted...let's see if I can find it...darn, can't, I'll keep looking.

    Those are really nice. I have several of the Limoge plates and cup and saucers from my great grandmother. I always thought they came painted from the factory. I have them displayed with pink and yellow Depression glass.

    Oh, wow. I love that second plate, and I'm not usually one for painted flora. Sweet peas with curling tendrils! If you ever need a new home for it...

    My great aunt did fruit. :/

    Fruit is nice! Here's one I was looking at earlier.

    I just remembered that most of mine are Bavarian china, in case you want to use that as a search term. They're packed away so I can't think of any of the flowers besides roses. I think I do have sweet peas though. The only one I ever bought has pink clover, which I like because it's different.

    The flower plates are so pretty. I'm partial to pansies, but lathyrus, you definitely need the sweet pea plates. ;)

    Excuse the fingers, I brought the plates into the computer room to photograph. This was has "R.S. Germany - Handpainted (one word)" on the back


    A smaller plate. This was says "L.S. - Germany"
    And a one of a set of three in a snack set. I can only imagine how beautiful the cups must have been. There are no markings on the back.
