We have another of these marks in our collection, the middle red mark, it is in another story 'L&Cie and ETS Chadelaud
Ets Chadelaud - Chadelaud Establishment - was a decorator of porcelain, they would have purchased their 'blank' pieces from various Limoges porcelain producers.
I know the Chaudelaud establishment was in Limoges in at 27 Rue Ampere in 1958 and then at 22 Rue Ampere from 1960. I have a hunch that this mark is probably from about the mid 60's but have no proof and I am still investigating. If you know anything about this gold 'Imperial Porcelaine' mark please do contact me, otherwise if I discover more pieces of the puzzle I will post them here. Send me an email from our contact us page if you would like to be kept informed of any progress I make.
Hi Sylvia,
I have sent you an email so you can show me your mark. From your description it sounds as if you have Fragonard Love Story plates and they were manufactured in Limoges in the mid-late 1900s.
As for treasuring them, if you love them and they bring you warm memories of an old friend I would say certainly, treasure them.
I have many pieces of porcelaine marked Imperial Porcelaine ets Chadelaud in a gold coloured circle underneath with a gold crown in the centre. Each piece is decorated with a gold edging and painted courting couples on the top. I would love to know more about the porcelaine, when it might have been made and is it something I should treasure. It was given to me by an old lady friend when I lived in France.
