White plate, very ornate in shape, hand painted with yellow flowers, and gold painted design around the edges. Stamped with green mark MR France patent applied for. MR is the mark for Martial Redon, who was a fine maker/decorator of Limoges china and his company was founded in 1853. This plate was probably imported into the USA around 1900 as a plain white blank, and then an American lady painted it. Painting china was a popular past time of refined, artistic ladies at that time. No donor card found.
