    Description

    Maker
    : These two beautiful and classically elegant dessert plates are by D & Co. L. Bernardaud, the renowned Limoges firm that has produced exceptional quality porcelain since 1863 and remains a major player in Limoges today.
    On the reverse of each plate are the green D & Co France white ware mark number 3 that was in use between 1894 and 1900 and the red L. Bernardaud decorator's mark number 3 that was in use from 1900 until the 1930s. That means these plates were produced in or around 1900.
    The red retailer's mark of Higgins & Seiter, a high-end New York store that closed in 1915, appears on other pieces in this dinner service but not on these plates.
    Design
    : The pattern features a thin black Greek key band and gold scrollwork on pure white porcelain. Replacements.com calls this pattern BER6.
    Condition
    : The plates are numbered and the front and back of both plates are shown in the photos. Both have light wear to the edge and verge but no cracks, repairs, stains or crazing.
    Plate 1
    has a small chip on the edge that is more visible from the front.
    Plate 2
    has a larger shallow chip near the gold edge that is visible from the reverse but not from the front.
    The chips are shown in the photos with the penny.
    Size
    : The plates are 8 1/2 inches wide and together weigh 1 pound 7 ounces.
    Please check all the photos very carefully – they are an important part of the description.
