Antique Limoges Pouyat Hand Painted Plate/Tray Artist Signed w/Back Stamp

The J.P. over L backstamp indicates the plate was manufactured between 1890 and 1932.  The addition of the Pat No indicates that it was made after 1908.  Of course the artist signature and date indicate it was decorated in February of 1916.

The initials H.B. are the unfortunate mark of a collector to indicate ownership, probably because this piece was lent out.  

The size and shape of the piece is typical of a dresser tray, but could also have been used as a serving piece.  The motif is nautical with seashells, starfish and gold scrolling.

This amazing plate is in very good condition with beautiful pale neutral colors and gold trim.  This is a very old plate and as such shows a little wear. 

No cracks, chips, or repairs.

The Pouyat family is one of the oldest French names connected with the Limoges porcelain industry.
