How much is a vintage Limoges roe deer collector plate worth today?

The market value of a vintage Limoges roe deer porcelain plate typically ranges between $25 and $55 AUD on the secondary market. Total valuation depends on plate diameter, condition of the rim gilding, and the presence of artist signatures or hand-painted hallmarks. Authentic 20cm wildlife display plates offered around $29.80 AUD represent strong value for collectors of French porcelain.

What does the mark 'MAIN' signify on vintage Limoges porcelain?

'MAIN' is the French word for 'Hand'. When stamped or painted on the reverse of Limoges porcelain—such as 'MAIN 81'—it confirms that the artwork or decorative gilding was painted or finished by hand by an artisan decorator rather than fully mass-printed.

How can you verify an authentic Limoges roe deer porcelain plate backstamp?

To verify authenticity, inspect the underside for the official 'Limoges, France' regional backstamp alongside workshop decoration marks or numerical painter signatures. These underglaze stamps confirm that the fine hard-paste porcelain body was manufactured and decorated in Limoges, France, backed by the Koala Group authenticity guarantee.
