It can be tougher to apply those decals than one would think. I would speculate that these were made by a small short-lived decorating house.

Limoges did jump on this bandwagon but, again, since it's not marked Limoges I would very reluctant to attribute it to them. Unfortunately romantic revival has fallen out of favor in today's market. I would describe the roses as "applied gold bands with rose decoration". If selling also feature the Langbroek transfers. If someone is out there looking for more pieces in this pattern it will help them find these. </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
