Beautiful Butterfly Plates

I went to my first car boot sale today and boy, am I glad that I did!
 

 
I got these two lovely vintage Tuscan plates with a beautiful butterfly and blossom pattern.

 
The background is a pretty pink shade.

 
Don't think that they've ever been out on display, never mind used.  The gilding on the edge is in perfect condition.


 
I absolutely adore them!  Does anyone have any idea when they were made?

Love, Liz

Oh, my, those are soooooo pretty! I love the butterflies, but also the squared off shape and the gold decoration at the corners. What a fabulous find!

Aren't they beautiful? Such a pretty shape and pattern.
Can't help much with dating, though I would have guessed by the shape that they might be pre-1950s. xxxx

They're too pretty to be hidden away. I hope you have them on display. Very shabby chic! x
