Coronet Limoges Plate 10 1/4 Hand Painted René Forest Winter Scene Gold 1920's. Elegant Decorative 10 1/4 PLATE from CORONET (George Borgfeldt) Limoges, France, HAND PAINTED by a Renown Limoges Artist René, Beautiful WINTER FOREST SNOW Scene, GOLD on Smooth Rim, production time period circa 1920's. DESCRIPTION: This plate was designed in a very classic pattern with a hand painted winter forest snow by the renown, talented Limoges artist, René. This artist is listed in the reference books. The overall quality of the design is quite professional.

The scene looks so peaceful and tranquil. The hand painting looks very realistic and reminds me so much of the woodlands here when we get the occasional snow. The rim is smooth and painted with gold.
