She's in blue. He's in red and gold. They are mid-courtship, frozen in the gracious tableaux that made Jean-Honoré Fragonard one of the most beloved painters of the 18th century — and this decal, one of the most enduring in American dinnerware history.
Produced by Harker Pottery in the 1950s — America's oldest pottery, founded in 1840 — these four dessert and salad plates carry the classic Fragonard courting couple motif surrounded by a full border and center verge of 22K gold filigree. The pattern is sometimes called George & Martha, though Harker's own mark simply references the Fragonard imagery. Backstamp confirms Harker's 1950s mark.
Use them for a formal dessert course, display them as a gallery wall grouping, or give them as a set to someone who collects American pottery, loves the Romantic era, or simply has extraordinary taste. Sold as a set of four.
