    The company, Royal Limoges France is still in business but I can't find anything about their marks or dates. The website states that they are the oldest existing factory in Limoges today, it stared in 1797. I checked Gaston's third edition and the internet without any luck. Other listings are calling this Bird of Paradise or Golden Roses but l have no idea if either of these is correct. I didn't see it on Replacements.

    Any idea of the age and/or pattern name? Thank you.

    Thank you. It looks like the same pattern. That ebay piece has two marks. The green mark is probably for the blank white-ware and the gold mark for the decorating company. It's definitely a transfer and not hand painted.

    I found this link about the company, however, it is only discussing Limoges boxes and they say they never use stencils. So it looks like they are the importer and not the decorator.

    Are they talking about boxes with this statement, if not, that is a bit of stretch.

    "Chamart was the brainchild of founder, Charles Martine. The name ‘Chamart’ is a contraction, a combination of Martine’s given name and surname. Creating the company in the early 1950s, Martine was the first to bring a variety of French porcelains to the United States. In 1965, he introduced the Limoges Box to the American market,"
