This plate is a First Edition (Première Édition) piece from the Lafayette Legacy Collection, manufactured by the premier workshop of Henri D'Arceau & Fils in Limoges, France. [1, 2]

• The Subject: Titled "La Fête du Retour Triomphal" (The Feast of the Triumphal Return), it commemorates the historical events of 1784, specifically celebrating General Lafayette’s triumphant return to France following the joint Franco-American victory in the Revolutionary War. 

• The Inscription: The unique handwritten red lettering on your specific plate notes that it is a Hors série spéciale pour le Musée (Special non-series edition for the Museum), custom-produced under the patron of L’Esprit de Lafayette association.

• Production Date: The backmark indicates it was crafted in 1975

The current market value for this individual plate typically ranges between $10.00 and $25.00 USD.

While it is a beautifully crafted piece of fine French porcelain with high-quality historical detailing, mid-1970s collector plates were produced in large quantities, which keeps their secondary market value modest today
