This Haviland Limoge rimmed rectangular plate bears the blue circular Haviland stamp that was used on their wares made between 1879-1889. 

This rimmed rectangular plate with 24kt gold decor is very uncommon pattern to find. The tray is medium large at 8 5/8" long x 4 1/2" wide or 220 mm x 114 mm.

I've had this tray stored in my curio for 40 years and it has never been used. The entire tray is in pristine clean very well cared for condition with no factory imperfections. The white porcelain is glossy, bright, and clean, and there is no missing or worn gold. There is some microscopic gold wear only on the tiny fine lines that join the leaves together. There are no chips, cracks, scratches, or repairs.

This tray could be used for cheese and crackers or appetizers. It could also be used on your dresser or bath vanity to hold accessories. This plate was originally made to be the base of a sauce tureen and Haviland did not make a lot of tureens compared to plates and other dishes. So, if you have the matching tureen, you might not have this matching base plate. 

Over the years, I have collected many small antique porcelain trays as really unique ones always catch my eye. I love to have them on my dresser or bath vanity and use them to hold little things like hair clips, jewelry, or cosmetics. This one has never been used, my dresser and vanity are full, and this one needs a loving home!
