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

Paul Lanternier (P.L) & Berry Table Service, fine porcelain, 24k gold gilding and burgundy trim

Description
Prestigious 17-piece table service in French porcelain from the famous Paul Lanternier (P.L) house. This service stands out for its classic, timeless refinement: the rim features a raised pattern with fine geometric fluting, enhanced by a double border consisting of a burgundy filet and a delicate motif of arabesques and gold filigree in 24k gold.

Contents of the set (17 pieces):
• 15 flat plates: Diameter 24 cm
• 1 oval serving plate: Dimensions 37 cm × 23.5 cm
• 1 round serving plate: Diameter 29.8 cm

Technical characteristics & Marking
• Material: Haute Porcelaine de France, renowned for its perfect whiteness, translucency, and high resistance.
• Back stamp: Each piece bears the golden guarantee stamp of the manufacturer "BERRY HAUTE PORCELAINE – MADE IN FRANCE", associated with the crowned tricolor crest bearing the initials "P.L" for Paul Lanternier.
• Finding its iconic P.L crest paired with the modern designation "Berry Haute Porcelaine" indicates this is a late model or a reissue of a classic Lanternier piece by the Berry porcelain group, which held the brand rights at the time.

Condition
Excellent overall condition, nearly like new. The porcelain retains its original superb brilliance. The decorations are remarkably preserved: the burgundy borders are intact and the 24k gold gilding shows very little wear over time.
