Six rare and pretty dinner plates - French vintage Bernardaud and Co. Limoges dinner service outlets - Renoir " Le déjeuner des canotiers"

A lovely set of 6 French dinner plates in very good vintage condition, made by the renowned Bernardaud factory, the largest manufacturer in Limoges.

The plates are based on a very famous painting, "Le déjeuner des canotiers" or "Luncheon of the boating party", painted by Renoir (himself born in the city of Limoges) between 1880-1881. There are two different central designs on the plates, one an image of a lady kissing her dog, the other is a lady talking to one of the men. Each set of 6 plates will have 3 of each design.

This service is very rare, permission and fees would have had to be given for the reproduction of the painting. Each pate is stamped "décor réservé no. 7041"

I have a total of 23 of these plates so if you are looking for a large service these would be ideal!

I also have other parts of this service available including a large serving dishes and plates, dessert plates, 12 very shallow soup plates/ dessert plates as well as a sauce boat. If you are interested in more than one of these items please contact me for a cost for combined postage thank you!
