This is a beautiful Limoges (France) Christmas plate depicting the biblical scene of Joseph and Mary being turned away from the inn just before Jesus' birth. It is #3 in a series of nativity-themed plates designed to look like stained glass windows. The back is written in French. I found this plate in a storage area containing hundreds of collector plates that had been removed from their boxes to conserve storage space. It didn't appear that any of them had been disturbed for several decades.
CONDITION: This plate has its original is in excellent condition with no wear or damage, but there is no original box or COA.
SIZE: The diameter of this plate is 8.5".
BACKGROUND: This is one of a number of things I purchased from a neighbor before she moved away from our retirement community to live with her son out of state. She left a house full of beautiful china and glass. I'll be listing more of her things over the coming weeks.
