This decorative plate was crafted in Limoges, France, likely during the mid-20th century. Limoges has been renowned for its fine porcelain production since the late 18th century, with the region becoming particularly famous for its detailed decorative items featuring rich colors and gold accents. The cobalt blue ground with gold romantic courtship scenes was a popular style for Limoges porcelain collectors.
