Rare Monumental Theo Haviland Limoges Hand-Painted Portrait Charger Plate-Signed

  
Incredibly beautiful and very rare monumental artist signed hand-painted porcelain portrait charger plate by Theodore Haviland Limoges. Depicts a lovely, raven-haired maiden most likely after Angelo Asti's "Reveuse" or "Dreamer". The hand-painted, embellished details of this plate are simply exquisite and the mark on the back (see pics) dates this piece to 1903. Finest quality porcelain and finest quality hand-painted portrait, this large antique charger is truly scarce and extremely hard to find. Remains in pristine antique condition with no chips, cracks, fleabites or losses.

Likely has spent the past 100+ years packed away or in a display case. Colors remain extremely vivid and vibrant (see pics) including the cobalt blue and raised gold/gilt embellishments. Possible very light surface wear from light dustings/cleanings over the years, but virtually flawless. Has a very slight round 1/4 indentation to the right of the sitter's neck (in the hair) from the mold.

Also has raised embellishment on the white trim of the bodice and around the green cab stone brooch at center. Overall, this rare cabinet charger is absolutely stunning and would make a great addition to any fine porcelain collection. Would look fabulous in your RJ Horner China cabinet!
