They are porcelain plates, hand painted in France. The gold leaf is stunning. These plates do not appear to have been used, there is no chipping, crazing, or scratches of any kind on the plates. Also, the gold wreath in the center of the plate is totally intact on all of them.
However, there is some paint loss commensurate with age, in the outer rim of the plates (minor on most, a bit more on one or two) see photos for details. These plates are 10 in diameter, a nice size for either display or to use for a special dinner. Hand painted plates by Le Tallec currently sell at Tiffany's for several hundred dollars each!
