I’m attempting to learn about Haviland Plates. Attached are pictures of a 13″ charger, rose pattern, scalloped gold edge. The rose pattern feels smooth except for a couple flowers that feel like they have raised paint edges. Is this considered a hand painted Haviland Plate or is it a transfer that paint was placed on top thus making it a fake. It has a Haviland France mark on the bottom along with a signature that appears to be “L.Mayen 1899”. Don’t really know anything about these plates so please help me learn about them. Thanks!
I would not have a problem with the hand painted designation !! I would be more skeptical if there were no differences in the artwork !! You do not want to see the exact same thing !! There should be variations in strokes and other areas of painting !! There is no great money here but very nice work !!
