French Limoges Bone China Plates, Set of 4 Blue and hotsell Brown and Gold Dinner Plates, Charles Ahrenfeldt for Caldwell Philadelphia

Beautiful, elegant, sophisticated, and quite rare set of 4 French Bone China plates. You are getting ONE SET OF 4 plates with FREE shipping, and I have three sets of 4 plates remaining. These are all Limoges bone china dinner plates, made in France under the Charles Ahrenfeldt brand, and they are all hallmarked on the back. These were probably made in the 1920s, perhaps into the early 1930s, and they were made exclusively for J. E. Caldwell Jewelers of Philadelphia. Caldwell Jewelers operated from 1839 to 1992, and it was one of the leading retailers of fine jewelers, silverware, and porcelain in the country from the 1860s through the 1940s. This pattern is a great example of the intricacy, detail, and extravagance that was imbued into the plates during the "Roaring Twenties", and all that prosperity came crashing down with the Great Depression. All 4 of these plates are in very good condition, with no cracks, no hairlines, no chips, no fleabites, and the decoration is intact and gorgeous and hotsell the blue color is vibrant. The dinner plates are each about 10 7/8" in diameter, and they feature softly scalloped edges with gold trim on the perimeter. In very good condition. Of course with the gold trim these are probably not dishwasher safe and should not be used in the microwave.

You get ONE SET OF 4 PLATES as shown with FREE shipping within the United States. I have 3 sets (a total of 12 plates) available. I'll gladly combine shipping with other items whenever possible. For shipment elsewhere, please contact me for a shipping quote.
