Other Items

T & V
Limoges France
Open Sugar Bowl

3.5 inches wide, gold trim

This lovely open sugar bowl is marked T&V for Tresseman & Vogt. It is a lovely, transluscent porcelain, with a richly detailed pink and yellow rose design flowing around a gold border with medallions. The rim, bottom trim, and handles are gilded.

This very elegant piece measures 3.5 inches wide across the rim (5.5 across the handles) and 2 inches high. It is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, flakes, hairlines, or crazing. The only flaw I can spot is a tiny black imperfection (right) on the interior wall.

There are two under-glaze backstamps. One is a magenta bell that reads "Limoges / T.V / M6928." The other is a green depose stamp that says "Déposé / T & V / Limoges France."

Price: $35

Two Very Fine French Limoges Tumblers
Elegant Floral Design

Two very charming small tumblers marked Limoges France in a green script. They are finely shaped and detailed, and the porcelain is of high quality (light shines through, and it has a very light blue cast).

These small glasses measure 3.5 inches high at the rim, and 2.75 inches wide across the rim. There are no cracks, chips, hairlines, or scratches; the pieces are in excellent condition, and the lovely blue floral decal designs are intact on front and back.

The cups are marked with a Limoges green mark that only says LIMOGES
France.

Three GDA Limoges
Large Rimmed
Soup Bowls

7.75 inches wide,
gold trim

Three lovely porcelain wide-rimmed soup bowls (plates), decorated with bouquets of pink roses, green leaves, and gold trim. I believe this is the GDA mark used in conjunction with Haviland (although I'm not a Limoges expert, so it could be Gerard, Dufraisseix, and Abbot).

All three bowls are in very good condition. One bowl appears to have a pinhead-size gouge mark on the base curve. Otherwise, they have no chips, cracks, flakes, fleabites, hairlines, or crazing (other than the usual backmarks original to manufacture). There is a little bit of wear to the gold trim border around the outer edge, but it's about 95% intact.

The bowls are 7.75 inches wide across the rim; the rim itself is 1.5 inches wide. They sit 1.5 inches high at the rim.

All three bowls have two backstamps. There is a cursive green "GDA / France." There is also a red-orange "GDA Limoges" in a wreath.

Small Limoges Bowl,
B&C Florale France

This small bowl (nut dish? desert bowl?) from Bernardaud & Company is 5 inches across and 1 inch tall. It is in excellent condition, with only slight wear to the gold edging around the rim.

There are no cracks, hairlines, or crazing on the surface, nor any signs of utensil marks or scratches from use; the bottom shows light hairlining, but is superficial. The detailed border is very clear and rich (see below photo).
