We got these from a Brocante near Troyes, Champagne, and have displayed them on a dresser in our French kitchen.
It is a vintage cake plate set of twelve square cake plates and a large rectangular cake platter by the famous GIEN pottery (these also work well as aperitif plates).
Hand painted with a charming floral design they are from the BUTTERFLY range of a series of floral patterns designed by artist Esther Rebotaro and produced between 1938 to 1960.
Clearly marked with a maker’s mark and
GIEN FRANCE
BUTTERFLY
PEINT A LA MAIN (HAND PAINTED.
Now worn with a few knocks and some crazing but still very sound with thick glaze they make great useful pieces of decorative french kitchenalia.

In good vintage condition with wear, crazing and the odd small chip - please examine photographs carefully for condition.
The surfaces are bright, thick and sound but worn from use - see photos.
There is some age and use related crazing, particularly to the platter, wear and staining but all surfaces are stable - see photos.
Although there is some wear and rough edges I can only find one significant chip to the underside corner of one plate, not visible unless upturned - see photos.
The bases are worn but sound.
Marked to the bottom as described.

Measure approximately:
Plates - 14.5x14.5 cm
Platter - 37x14.5 cm,
Weigh about 2.7 kg in total.
