| DFID (c) 2019 Mintons English plate, circa 1870's |
My old friend the antiquarian Larry Laster in Winston-Salem had this charming dinner plate and I snapped it up- something like this in a set might be found in a pantry alongside Compagnie des Indes pieces in the chateau at Haroue', in Lorraine (northeastern France) where the Princess Minnie de Beauvau Craon can sometimes be found when she is not in London-
Above, the moat around the chateau- she used to take her children fishing there in a rowboat - how peaceful! Only 500 souls reside in the village - divine! DF
