The Limoges porcelain dessert plate in the Malmaison pattern has a platinum frieze around the rim and can be used to serve starters, salads, desserts or cheese courses. One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetrical design. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine.
