The Pairpoint Glass Company of New Bedford, Massachusetts, decorated Limoges white wares from the 1880s to the early 1900s. A special mark, “Pairpoint Limoges”, is found on examples expertly and richly decorated by artists of that company. This piece bears the Pairpoint overglaze decorating mark in green, dating it from the 1880s to the early 1900s.
