Long Description
Lovely set of Limoges VF France "6" plates with the green back stamp all hand painted with gold gilding. None appear to have been used and lack any normal wear marks. Â Four on these plates are incised with "l" and the other two are incised with "XV"... as you can see the patterns are all the same as is the design. Do these what appear to be "Roman Numerials". Does anyone have any information as to what these marks "mean" or refer to ? Thanks in advance for your time, Mic
