The pattern is VERY RARE "Old Blackberry" and in the EXTREMELY RARE "NAPKIN FOLD" style accented in gold (the corners of these pieces appear to be "folded" over). This EXQUISITE VERY RARE French Haviland & Co Limoges hard paste porcelain (fine china) platter with Napkin Fold corners, circa 1876 to 1889. This BEAUTY measures roughly 10 1/2" by 12". On the bottom of the piece is the green under glaze mark H&Co underscored by L.
The red overglaze factory decorating mark is Haviland & Co Limoges. This is an INCREDIBLY RARE FIND you will probably NEVER SEE AGAIN An absolute MUST for any collector! There are no chips, nicks, cracks or crazing that I can detect.
The colors are vivid and crisp. This BEAUTY features gold detailing / trim on the napkin folds. There could be possible minimal wear to coloring and gold commensurate with age. There could be slight utensil marks on the inside bottom, and/or stacking or shelf wear on the bottom of the piece.
