Theodore Haviland plate

[keltic14]

I was given a Theodore Haviland dinner plate and was wondering what it's value was. The style is "Paradise" but it does not have flowers, just the 2 birds sitting on a branch. It has a blue trim with a gold band on the edge It was made in Limoges for the Wright, Tyndale and Van Roden store of Philadelphia. Thank you for you help.

Found these little blurbs .....

"The distributor noted in the backstamp, Wright, Tyndale and Van Roden, was based in Philadelphia, and went out of business circa 1928. As this backstamp occasionally specifies NYC, it seems that the distributor provided the china for both locations."

"Platter bears C. Ahrenfeldt Mark 8b, c. 1894-1930s and is marked "Wright Tyndale & Van Roden", a Philadelphia retailer"

Ah Ha !!! Think this is it......

"This Limoges beauty was manufactured by the famed Theodore Haviland, for the exclusive Wright Tyndale and Van Roden jewelry store in the early 1920's."

(haven't found a 'name' for it yet, will keep checking )

Thanks everyone. This will really give me some help.

keltic, am I seeing things or is there an impressed mark inside the circle ridge on the base of the plate?  Haviland had what appears to be hundreds of patterns that go by number only.  Possibly the Paradise was sold as their own and they altered the pattern for export to Wright.

There is a mark. It's a TH, probably for Theodore Haviland.
