You can never have enough vintage Limoges porcelain in your collection. Especially, when it’s as versatile as this set of 4 +1 small plates. I use them as a saucer for my Turkish teacups, appetizer plates, or as a tiny dessert plate to hold a favorite pâte de fruit alongside your afternoon tea.

This set has the right amount of patina to its hand-painted gold rim. The plates have been loved and cherished through a few generations. I adore the soft colors and the delicate flowers.

4 are in very good vintage condition. The fifth has an oh-so-tiny chip on the underside of the rim. I didn’t see it on the first or second pass, but I noted it before taking photos. Since it is hardly noticeable, I decided to include it with the set of 4 as an extra piece. I couldn’t bring myself to discard it.
