I've recently moved from my big Victorian house in NJ to a beach house in Florida. The quantity and style of some of my collections just don't fit or suite the new place, so I am putting a number of things on line to sell.
Description:
I've been collecting Limoges for some time. This is a charmingly painted by a fine artist.
This bowl is marked by the artist but has no other marks. I believe it is Limoges; in particular, the soft background of yellow/pink/blue-like clouds are identical to a signed Limoges piece I have. However, I've also had some pieces from Austria with similarly fine painting.
The bowl is 8-3/8 in diameter and stands on three gilded legs to a height of 3-1/16”.
The painting reminds me of the berries that grew in the woods of my old house...blackberries and what we called “wine” berries.
The rim is gilded.
It is signed on the bottom, “M.M.”
Condition:
No chips or cracks.
There is one small dot without glaze; and I see two dots in the bowl under the glaze. There are several dots under the glaze on the bottom of the bowl. (Please see close-up photos.)
I apologize ahead of time for the cost of shipping. I only ship USPS Priority as they supply the boxes and do better with arriving safely.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
