D C France Daffodil Plate signed by A. H. Helgeson
I have a vintage plate that is from D C (Delinieres Co) France and is signed by the artist A. H. Helgeson. The center and back of the plate is white, the front rim is approx. 1-1/2 wide and is painted with daffodils and green leaves.
The plate is 8-1/2 inches in diameter and has 9 yellow daffodils hand-painted around the rim with green pointy leaves in between. There is gold trim around the outer rim.
The gold trim shows a little wear, no chips, cracks or crazing that I can see.
Backstamp in green ink:

The Delinieres company was in business from 1880 to the 1900s, than was acquired by the Bernardaud company. I read that the Delinieres company would produce what they called ‘blanks’ (plain white plates) that would then be finished by various artists and signed on the back. I think that’s what this is (I’m no expert). I really don’t know how old this plate is. It’s in good shape though and very unique.
