VERY UNIQUE SIX PLATE COLLECTABLE LAFAYETTE PLATE SET

This rare plate set commemorates the establishment of the United States of America and the role played in that establishment by Marquis de Lafayette. The edition portrays six special moments in Lafayette's American Revolutionary War career in original art on museum quality Limoge porcelain. This collector's plate commission is the first ever accepted by either the artist or the porcelain house and the first ever granted by the L'Esprit de Lafayette Society for a commemorative art object of any kind. Each plate is numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity along with a story explaining the plate's picture. All the paperwork is contained in an album designed for the collection. When the plates were sold, the subscription was only accepted from American and French citizens, and ownership of the subscription had to be transferred by endorsement. Each plate was mailed to the individual subscriber directly from the Official Shipper in France. To transfer a subscription, the owner had to sell his/her subscription rights. The plates would be a perfect gift or possession for a history buff. Cash only.
