flock together on this outstanding and stunning 11-piece game set, The set consists of a platter and 10 plates, all with an ornate scalloped rim bright with lavish gilding. Each piece portrays a pair of game birds, hand painted in rich, vibrant color.
Each piece is signed by the artist, "Norys."
The back of each plate carries a green mark of a crown over the words "Coronet" and framed by "Limoges" and "France," This mark was registered to George Borgfeldt and Company, an importer based in New York, City. The company had a china decorating studio in France where skilled artists decorated china blanks purchased from porcelain manufacturers in and around Limoges, France. This mark dates these beautiful bird plates from 1906 to 1920. After 1920, the word "Trademark" was added.
Some of the plates are further marked "Limoges France."
