Beautiful Limoges, GD and CIE, hand Painted Artist Signed Set of 12 Fish Plates

Gorgeous set of G. Demartine & Cie. Limoges hand painted and artist signed, set of 12 fish plates.

The plates measure 8 1/2" in diameter and are Circa 1891.

The green underglaze mark with 2 circles and a star in the center is F. Legrand and the 2 overglaze marks are the decorator GD & Cie (G. Demartine & Cie.) and the importer or retailer, Higgins and Seiter, New York.

There are different fish on all the 12 plates swimming gracefully either from the left or from the right with plant life dangling from the top and gorgeous flowers blooming up from the bottom. The water is a beautiful mix of blue and green/yellow. All 12 plates are hand painted with a gorgeous lime green color on the outer part of the plates with beautiful gold trim and border.

You will see the artists signature on the same side the fish are swimming from. I believe the artist to be Lalany.

Gold wear commensurate to age. The hand painting on this set is exceptional and they are in immaculate condition having no chips, hairlines or cracks.

This set is looking for a wonderful home, limoges or fish collector to go to. This set would look gorgeous in a Country setting, possibly above a fireplace or a hutch in a post and beam dining room.
