[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 593156, member: 136"]Oh, Aqui, you know me so well! Hi, Star, and welcome! Your Longchamp tableware is lovely. I have always liked the look of French faience. With your dating question, I think you might be confusing MOUSTIERS and LONGCHAMP. I am NOT an expert, but here's the way I understand it: Moustiers is a Provençal village where faience was produced from the 17th to the early 19th centuries. (Some is still made there today, thanks to a re-birth of sorts in the 20th century.) Longchamp (in Burgundy) is the location of a pottery company that produces a number of china patterns, many based on old faience designs. Moustiers (like yours) is the name of one of their patterns. It is mostly late 20th to early 21st century tableware. (I believe the pattern was discontinued before 2010.) Nonetheless, what you have there is a delightfully cheerful pattern that appeals to a lot of people. Unfortunately, prices of ALL sorts of tableware - even/especially the "nice stuff" - have plummeted in recent years. (Asking prices at places like Replacements [URL]https://www.replacements.com/china/lon.htm[/URL] are about as far from reality these days as they can get!) I can't see your markings very well, but they look to be pretty standard 20th century Longchamp horses.[/QUOTE]
