Extensive Haviland Limoges Partial Dinner Service in the "Ranson" Pattern, ca. 1893-1930, French, the gold and white set including twelve dinner plates, dia. 9-3/4", twelve luncheon plates, dia. 8-1/2", twelve soup bowls, dia. 7-1/2", twelve salad plates, dia. 7-1/4", twelve dessert dishes, dia. 5", twelve butter pats, dia. 3", twelve cups, h. 2-1/2", with twelve saucers, dia. 5-1/4", a nest of four graduated platters, w. 8-1/4" to 18", d. 5" to 12-1/2", a round covered vegetable dish, h. 5", dia. 8-1/2", an oblong covered vegetable dish, h. 5", w. 9-3/4", a pair of open vegetable dishes, h. 2-1/2", w. 10", a butter dish with liner, h. 4-1/4", a gravy boat with integral stand, h. 3-1/4", a cream jug, h. 4", and a covered sugar bowl, h. 5".

In overall very good condition. It appears that much of the dinner service was not used/or was used infrequently. One soup bowl has a "fleabite" chip to its foot rim. There is a chip to the rim of one saucer and two chips to two bread plates. On the nest of platters, there is a chip to the rim of the large one, and a chip to the underside of the rim on the medium-sized one. On the dinner plates, one plate has two small chips to its rim; three others have a chip to their rims; and another has a chip to the underside of its foot rim. The plate wells are intact with no notable scratches or cutlery marks, and the gilding is largely intact (a few of the vegetable dishes have some wear).
