Unusual fish plates in the Egyptian blank and with Egyptian scenes in a set of 12 8" plates. There are 6 different scenes with each repeated 2 times. They are in gold and brown depicting different aspects of a fisherman's life with egyptian motifs lightly painted in gold in the background. They are in exceptional condition, no chips or cracks and just a very light wearing of gold around the edges. All of the scenes are in very good condition. They are marked with CFH/GDM mark and the Charles Field Haviland, Limoges donut mark, which means these are all factory decorated and painted by factory artists. They date around 1882. This is the first complete set of this type that I have ever seen.
