Antique Haviland Limoges Butter Pats Pair, 1882 to 1900 French Porcelain Floral Ring Dishes

$54.00
Originally made to give each Victorian dinner guest their own pat of butter, these petite French dishes are now perfect as ring dishes, tea-bag rests, salt dishes, tiny catchalls, or elegant place-setting accents.

This matched pair was made by Charles Field Haviland and Gérard, Dufraisseix & Morel in Limoges, France, circa 1882 to 1900. Each square dish has softened scalloped corners, delicate botanical decoration, and a fine gold edge. The green factory marks remain visible underneath.

Very good antique condition with light age-related gilding wear and minor surface marks. No chips, cracks, or repairs found. Approx. 4.5 in across and 1 in deep each.

The Wander House sourcing story: Every piece is found by me in person at estate sales, old homes, dusty garages, sheds, and the forgotten corners where worthwhile objects are still waiting. I do not buy ready-to-resell inventory from resale apps. I bring each piece home, clean it, inspect it, research it, photograph it, and choose it because I can still see the life it has left. Prices are kept fair so these pieces can move on, while still helping them reach someone who will value what made them worth saving.
