Featured Pattern name for H&C Austria Gorgeous Fish Plates?

H&C Carlsbad Austria

I was unable to find these in this particular pattern... I'm no expert in antique porcelain, and these don't seem old to me, just beautiful.

There is a large platter and 10 salad(?) plates - a gravy boat is cracked (with underplate) Thank yew!!!!

Hi,
Looks like a fish serving set, thus the fish. Is the platter oblong or round like the plates? Gravy boat was probably for white sauce, not gravy. It is a pretty set but probably had 12 plates in the beginning.

Back in the day, a proper dinner included a fish course prior to the entree; hence the 'salad'-sized plates. And, obviously, the china pattern need not match anything else.

 

The handwritten number is most likely the pattern.

 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

 

I love them, just can't find that fish/edge pattern and really not sure it's old? in such good condition, but I suppose they wouldn't show the same kind of wear as regular dinner plates.

It has a big, oval platter I haven't extracted from the shelf paste they used on everything )) I'm not sure how many serving plates were included (I'll see it again tomorrow). The sauce boat has an x-shaped crack on the bottom with underplate.

 

Nice!

 

My bet is they are old, Art Nouveau era and in the genre of Game Plates, Fish Plate service set. Can you tell if a transfer or hand painted?

 

I looked up that mark at one time, but now can't remember who it is. I think I found it on PM&M, but I find that site hard to navigate and now can't find it. It's about the same time period as most of the gorgeous Haviland (ie. 1890s - 1930). My guess is the early part of that span.

What is written in the middle of that mark? I can't read it.

In any case there won't be a pattern name, just "Fish Serving Set" which is really all you need. It's lovely.

 

Never mind, I see you stated "Carlsbad". Ok off to look some more.

 

Thanks for that! If my visual memory serves, they're transfer.

I agree!

I'll probably be over there today, and can confirm how many serving plates and whether those are transfers.

Thanks for your help!
