Antique Questions Forum / Lafayette Porcelain Dishes
« on: July 11, 2004, 08:36:33 pm »
Hi there. I recently inherited a set of porcelain dishes from a distant relative, but can find nothing out about them.
It is a rather large set with several different plate sizes.
They are ivory colored with green flowers that look like they were stamped or put on via transfer. There is a wash of pinkish purple and yellow here and there on the flowers, and that looks hand-painted. They also have gold details that look almost like they were sponge-painted on.
The only identifying marks I can find consist of "Lafayette Porcelain" stamped on the bottom, along with a logo that looks like two branches with maybe 3 P's in the middle. One of the serving dishes also has the number 325D hand-painted in gold on the inside of the lid.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I just want to know how old they are and where they came from. I have photos if needed.
Thanks!
Mandy
