    Sergio bought these dessert plates (20 cm diameter) several years ago at the Calle Belgrano market in Córdoba, we don't know how much he paid. He always liked plates with a solid silver mount, and these have the Mercury hallmark facing left with a 1 near the chin, inside a hexagon that corresponds to 925/1000 silver for exporting large objects. They also have the silversmith's hallmark, which is that of Henri Lapeyre Paris, a spoon between two croissants and the initials HL, which was active between 1895/1923. I am posting this in a picture that composed with the backstamps from the literature.
    The porcelain of the plate is of the highest quality and it was difficult to tell anything since it has a pseudo Sèvres mark and another that is completely covered with gold. This golden enamel is interesting since the plate does not contain any decoration with this color. Limoges porcelain produced before the First World War generally has some black dots of ash that have stuck to it during the firing process in wood-fired kilns; these do not have any imperfections of this type. The decoration of garlands of roses in shades of pink and green is very well done imitating similar decoration of old Limoges and Sevres pieces. Looking for Limoges marks that might have a similarity in shape I was not able to find anything. I took a picture with a strong light from behind, and then something was seen, and I recognized a seal that I had already seen. This stamp corresponds to that of Alfred Hache of Verzion (the one of the Japanese-style cup that I published a few weeks ago), and actually searching for Hache and Sevres I found one example for sale with the two stamps, https://drouot.com/en /l/17161039--round-plate-of-france-with-, always with these motifs of garlands of roses. Many times these stamps are a way of denominating a decoration pattern. In the image that I constructed the silver seals of the plate are above and those of literature below, and the porcelain seals at the bottom left are the ones that I have managed to photograph so that they can be compared with those on the left that those of Alfred Hache (1903-1930), and that of Sevres of 1778. All this suggests that these plates have been produced between 1903 and 1923. There is one fact that can help in dating the plates and it is that Alfred Hache put into operation the first French porcelain tunnel kiln in 1914 thus, I speculate that its production date is between 1914 and 1923.
    They are very pretty…. without a doubt there are not many like these ones in online sales. Thank you as always for your feedback, either as you like or with a comment.
