Elegant Decorative Set of 5 DINNER PLATES from William Guerin & Co. DESCRIPTION: The artist was very talented developing the unique design of this set of 5 dinner plates. The color palette used is yellow, blue, purple, green on white w/gold. ?? The garland between the verge and the rim is very interesting. It is composed of multicolor scrollwork with green leaves. Look closely to see the 5 horned faces that are easily missed. You can see these in photos #8 & #10. The verge of the plate has 2 simple gold lines encircling the center. CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. We find no nicks, chips, scratches, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. There appears to be absolutely no wear to the colors and no crazing. Look in the photos to see this. DIMENSIONS: The dinner plates have a diameter of 9 3/4″ with a height of 1″. HISTORY/MARKS: William Guerin, Limoges France, established his firm in 1873 and exported large quantities of chinaware primarily to the USA. After he acquired the Jean Pouyat Company and WWI caused porcelain production to be drastically curtailed, the merged companies were acquired by Bawo & Dotter in 1920. The green underglaze backstamp on these pieces are identified as mark #3 and was used from 1900 to 1932 according to Mary Frank Gaston in her book, Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition.
