Antique Haviland Hand Painted Cabinet Plate - Floral - Gold Trim

Hand painted graceful flowers in soft pink are set against a wonderfully amorphous gauzy backdrop of palest aqua and citrine. This beautiful addition to any cabinet or afternoon tea measures 8.5" across, perfect for tempting confections. The reverse is marked with the Haviland France stamp as well as the signature of M Sparrow ..Washington DC Was this the artist? A special souvenir to bring back from France? I'm sure that there is an interesting story somewhere..
