SOLD#2564 T&V Limoges Punch BowlSOLD

The marks are that of Tressemann & Vogt and date the bowl to 1907-1919 (Source:  Antique Limoges at Home by Debby DuBay, pages 236 and 237).  Appears to be a combination of beautiful high-quality transfer florals and hand painting.  Gorgeous cranberry colors with heavy gold trim.  Wide gold rim on foot of bowl and ornately scalloped gold rim at top.   Perfect condition.  13" diameter across top opening.  Gorgeous!!!

The mark is a green underglaze whiteware mark that was used c.1891-late 1890s by the Leon Sazerat and Blondeau company in Limoges, France, and was apparently used after Sazerat became deceased.  The company was apparently out of business by the late 1890's and  few examples are found of any of their marks (Source:  Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, Third Edition, by Gaston, page 380).  This is a beautiful little dish with a precious cherub in the center which is a combination of transfer and hand painting.  It gives the impression of being totally hand painted until examined carefully under a magnifier.  The dish is in a scalloped shell design with soft pink on the inside walls and gold trim on the rim -- all of which I believe was painted by hand.  Notice that the cherub is framed by an ornate gold border on a white background.  Perfect condition except for some ever-so-slight wear of gold on the rim (look closely at picture).  It measures 5 5/8" x 4 3/4" and is absolutely beautiful!!

SOLD#2357 Limoges France Chocolate Pot by M. RedonSOLD

The mark dates this chocolate pot to the years of c.1891-1896.  This exact body shape in its graceful scalloped shell and scroll design is found on page 273 of  the Third Edition of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frank Gaston.  The delicate floral and foliate decoration is hand painted.  The gold handle, finial, and spout serve to complement the overview beauty of this gorgeous find!!!  As if it couldn't get any better, it is in perfect condition!!   It is 9" to top of finial.

From George Borgfeldt, a New York importer with a porcelain decorating studio in Paris, France, who used the Coronet mark c.1906-1920.  The star is a whiteware mark from the Coiffe factory in Limoges France, who used it after 1914.  Therefore, this set is dated to between the years of 1914-1920. (Source:  Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, Third Edition, by Gaston, pages 71, 89, 90).  This is a pair of plates exactly alike and ready for hanging on your wall.  Although at first glance the figural scene appears to be hand painted, we believe it is actually a combination of transfer and hand painting.  The gold was no doubt applied by hand.  Small gold beads surround the oval figural scene.  They each measure 7 3/4" diameter.  Gorgeous plates for any beautiful home.  Excellent condition.

References say this green J.P.L. France  mark was for whiteware and was used c.1890-1932.  Handle and scalloped rim trimmed in gold.  Gorgeous Hand Painted Roses.  Artist signed by Duval who is a listed and apparently well-known Limoges artist.  More of Duval's work can be found in the Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, Third Edition, by Mary Frank Gaston.  Some very slight wear of gold on handle.  Otherwise, in excellent to perfect condition.  8 3/4" long x 6" wide.  A gorgeous piece and treasure of a find!!!
