Beautiful antique set of 6 small octagonal dishes by L. Bernardaud & Cie, Limoges, France, in their charming hand-decorated “Bird of Paradise” pattern. Each dish features a unique whimsical bird perched on a flowering or berried branch, hand-tinted in rust orange, sage green, and soft yellow, surrounded by a scrolling gilt floral border in dusty blue, lavender, and rust with a gold rim. A lovely find for collectors of antique French Limoges china, chinoiserie/Aesthetic Movement decorative arts, or anyone building a Bernardaud “Bird of Paradise” service. Would look wonderful as accent dishes, individual dessert dishes, or displayed on a plate wall. Smoke-free home. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the item description.
