Gien Colored Plates

1920? Eight cream-colored plate with colored designs. Each plate reads "Fables de LaFontaine" at its top, with the individual fable title at the bottom.  Each back reads "Porcelaine opaque de Gien." €200 from entrepot*d on Ebay, Jan., '21.

I was sure that we had some of the plates in this series; it turns out that we have plates from at least four other series, but not from this series.  We have a similar but smaller plate for hanging depicting TT.  I picked up from the kind seller that the plates have numbers, though I could not find them on the plates themselves.  We have, from what seems to be a set of 12:

#3: "Crow and Eagle"
#4: BF
#5: "Fox and Goat in a Well"  
#7: FC
#8: FK
#9: OF
#10: "Rabbits and Frogs"
#11: WL
Ebay.fr has revealed to me that #6 is CJ.  From our other holdings, it seems that TT is #12.  The other two seem to be FS and BC.

Better images are on their way!
