Miniature Porcelain Decorative Plates/Souvenirs

This lot consists of two miniature porcelain plates, likely intended as decorative souvenirs or trinket dishes, each approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. They are crafted from white porcelain, featuring a subtly scalloped edge evident on both pieces. The most prominent features are the various markings on their undersides. One plate has a gold-colored stamp, partially obscured, which appears to be a manufacturer's mark or perhaps a mark indicating material fineness, surrounded by text that includes "VERA..." and "...CAMPO". The second plate exhibits a more distinct green circular stamp with a stylized lion's head design in the center, encircled by text that reads "Limoges FRANCE" and "selasua". This suggests a likely origin from Limoges, France, a region renowned for its fine porcelain production. A yellow, scalloped adhesive label, partially detached, is affixed to this plate, displaying "Paullio s.a.s.", an address "C. so Garibaldi, 20", and "PORTN...". This label likely indicates the retailer or another distributor. Both plates appear to be in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage. Some minor dust or light surface grime is present, consistent with age and storage. The gold markings show clear legibility, while the green stamp is also sharp. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced decorative porcelain, with uniform molding and consistent glazes. These items likely date from the mid to late 20th century, consistent with the style of souvenir ware and the type of markings present.
