LIMOGES HAND PAINTED BIRD 6 SCALLOPED EDGE GILDED GAME PLATES AND 1 PLATTER SET. THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY SET IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. THIS SET BELONGED TO MY GREAT-GREAT GRANDMOTHER HELEN. IT WAS GIVEN TO HER AS A WEDDING PRESENT IN ENGLAND IN 1872. SHE MARRIED AN IRISHMAN AND BROUGHT THIS SET WITH HER TO THE UNITED STATES.

AFTER A SHORT STAY IN LOCK HAVEN , PA, THEY THEN SETTLED IN JOHNSTOWN, PA. THIS WAS THE MOST PRIZED POSSESSION GRANDMOTHER HAD BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY THING SHE HAD TO BRING WITH HER BESIDES ONE CHANGE OF CLOTHING.
