Item Description: This delicate antique Victorian Limoge piece is not a plate, it is not quite a bowl, so I am calling it a tray.
It is signed on the back Xmas '95 (that is 1895, not 1995 I have had it longer than that).

It is hand painted with ballet pink cabbage roses. The detail in the roses is enhanced with raised enameling. The backgound has a bit of peach near the roses, white in the center and light green near the scalloped edges. Between the white and green areas and within the green, the gild has a delicate triple slash /// design (in case it looked like wear, it is not). The scalloped edges are gilded also. The only gild loss is minimal and hard to note in the sponge gilded edge.
It is marked with the Lanternier Limoges France Mark 3, which dates 1891 to 1914.
