Charles AHRENFELDT (1807-94) was born in Germany, but he began importing porcelain into New York City in the 1830s. During the 1840s he moved to Paris and had a decorating studio. Sometime between 1859 and the late 1860s he opened an exporting firm in Limoges and developed a wide export market, especially to North America.

Around 1884 he also started decorating porcelain in Limoges. He probably also established the porcelain factory continued by his son.

The son Charles J. Ahrenfeldt (1856-1934) took over the porcelain factory in 1894, upon his father's death. In 1896 he built a porcelain factory in the Montjovis district of Limoges.

Ahrenfeldt's Zurich agent M. Grob took over the factory in 1917. This factory made high quality porcelain and won the Grand Prix at ArtDeco Exposition in 1925. The factory was enlarged in 1926.

Grob died in 1934 and was succeeded by his widow. A finance group bought the factory in 1958, production diminished, and the factory closed in 1969.

These are in Mint condition with only a bit of gold wear to the edges on a few plates, The entire plate itself is a wonderful display of talent from the last 2 centuries ago.. Days gone by!..
