In Reply to: Haviland France Handpainted Rose Plates posted by Scott Halstead on December 18, 2000 at 22:14:42:
: I have recently bought 12 large plates. Each is marked in green Haviland France on the reverse. The plates are 10" and each feature a spray of handpainted roses.
: Each plate is a different color rose spray.. The work is very stunning..All are gold trimmed..Can someone tell me about these..Email if more info is needed?? Looking to sell..Thanks!!
The plates are probably handpainted by an unsigned artist, perhaps in the WAM (Woman's Art Movement.)
If the plates are factory decorated there will be a factory decorating mark in red "Haviland & Co Limoges."
Since the red mark is missing, the plates are probably handpainted and are of significantly lesser value.
