Paul Lanternier Limoges - Serving plate (17) - Softpaste porcelain

Paul Lanternier (P.L) & Berry Table Service, fine porcelain, gold gilding with a Bordeaux border

Description
Prestigious 17-piece table service in French porcelain from the famous Paul Lanternier house (P.L).
This service stands out for its classic, timeless refinement: the border features a relief pattern with fine geometric ridges, accented by a double border consisting of a Bordeaux border and a delicate frieze of arabesques and gilded volutes in fine gold.

Lot composition (17 pieces):
• 15 flat plates: Diameter 24 cm
• 1 oval serving platter: 37 cm × 23.5 cm
• 1 round serving platter: Diameter 29.8 cm

Technical characteristics & Marking
• Material: French fine porcelain, renowned for its perfect whiteness, translucence, and high resistance.
• Back stamp: Each piece bears the golden guarantee stamp of the manufacture "BERRY HAUTE PORCELAINE – MADE IN FRANCE", associated with the crowned tricolor shield bearing the initials "P.L" for Paul Lanternier.
• The presence of the iconic P.L.blazon paired with the modern mention "Berry Haute Porcelaine" indicates that this is a late model or a reissue of a classic Lanternier masterpiece by the Berry porcelain group, which then held the brand rights.

Condition
Excellent overall condition, almost like new. The porcelain retains its original brilliant glaze. The decor is remarkably preserved: the Bordeaux borders are intact and the gilding in fine gold shows very little wear.
