Looks more like hobbyist (re)decorated items to me.

[sheilasday]

could  these  be hand  painted..or  are  they  transfers...would  the  gold initial  be  the artist?  they appear to be  quality  ..  are  they  porcelain?

see alot of  suisse  langenthal on  internet...but  not  these  plates

are   they  rare....old? 

any help  appreciated..

[sheilasday]

hoping someone can tell me something about them
where to see more
circa etc....thanks all !

I agree, hobbyist, partly.  but all they did was  add the gold.

the mark in from 1940-1963
the theme seems to be hunting

Langenthal is a good quality Swiss maker founded in 1906, "makers of tableware, hotel ware and fancy goods". The body, enamels and gilding of pieces I have seen have all been good but I don't think they innovated in any way, technically or artistically, so their works are not pursued by collectors to any great extent.

appreciate   alll  the  responses

however..do not  believe  these  are  " hobbyist"

too perfect....

still seeking  to see others  similar  somewhere on internet

or any other   info on these....will post  photos  on the other   birds on the  plates.....

thanks  all

Can you please stop making posts about these plates

[gone_4_good]

I think you are right! Someone took gold rimmed plated and painted and re-fired them
I can find no other examples of artist signed LANGENTHAL
They made a bunch of gold rimmed plates
The style isnt close to anything else they ever produced that I have seen
The painting style is a bit amatuer
OP - check for tiny black specks in the white (use a magnifier) this is an indicator of being fired again - the absence of specks is not proof it hasn't been though.

The moderators appear to have merged several threads and a number of posts have been lost in the process, mine among them. I am re-posting the link below for two reasons: (i) it helps narrow down the date of production to a single year (1964) and (ii) it is a very useful resource which could prove useful for others who are looking for information on Suisse Langenthal, and who come across this thread.

NB The link is to a PDF file (a large one, since lots of illustrations). Also, the text is in German:

I know that new people sometimes get confused about how to post, or they don't know how to find their own threads, or they don't know how to edit their threads or ask a mod to delete or edit a thread, and so on.  However, this OP has been around these boards for years.

There is nothing "perfect" about these plates.  The painting is crude and clumsy, the birds poorly rendered in every regard. 

You can believe whatever you want to about them, but to keep starting new threads because you don't like the answers you're getting is an insult to all the people taking the time to try to help you.
