RARE: BM FRANCE Chamart/Limoges Paisley Porcelain 10” Dinner Plates, 4-Set

Set of 4, RARE: BM FRANCE Chamart/Limoges Paisley Porcelain 10” Dinner Plates. This is a rare find of this vintage brand dinner plates. Great golden Fall colors of orange/peach/brown/yellow, but also just gorgeous paisley design. “Chamart” is a contraction of the name of its founder, Charles Martine, one of the "personalities" of the gift and tabletop business in Limoges, France. As the result of the devastation inflicted on France by World War II, there was little product to import. Martine was the first to bring a variety of French porcelains into the U.S. He created the company in the early 1950's. Originally Martine's line was limited to dinnerware and handpainted ceramics - predominantly gift items, serving accessories and crystal. Limoges boxes, for which the company is now world famous started as they moved into 5th Avenue store. Great condition. Two plates have tiny rim chips, see photos. No crazing or cracks. Measure: 10” x 1/2” Weight: for all: 4.8 lbs.
