Presented for your consideration we are pleased to offer this stunning, extremely well preserved, ornate antique, Victorian / Art Nouveau style, molded, sculptured, textured, lavishly decorated porcelain charger / display plate, with main outer color blue, made in Limoges, France by the fine artisans and craftsmen at Coiffe Limoges, c 1891-1914.
AT TIME OF LISTING WE HAVE 9 SIMILAR CHARGERS AVAILABLE WITH DIFFERENT COLOR INNER BORDERS
2 YELLOW - 3 BLUE - 4 PINK -- WE ARE ALWAYS PLEASED TO COMBINE SHIPPING
ALL ARE NEARLY IDENTICAL, BUT A CLOSE LOOK WILL SHOW BETWEEN 1-5 DARK PIN SIZE DOTS WHICH ARE PRODUCTION FLAWS AND NOT DAMAGE - FIRST 3 PHOTOS ARE THE THREE INDIVIDUAL PLATES ALONE, TO ILLUSTRATE THIS SUBTLE DIFFERENCE - BLUE BORDER IS UNIFORM ON ALL THOUGH LIGHTING MAKES IT APPEAR DIFFERENT ON LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE
THE CLOSE UPS ARE OF THE ONE WITH THE MOST IMPERFECTIONS - WE THOUGHT IT BEST TO PRESENT "WORST", WHICH IS STUNNING
- In phenomenal vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, crazing, damage, almost no gold loss, but for one or two depressions in various areas, which appear, under high magnification, to be production flaws
- Measures just over 9 1/4" Wide widest point in center x 1" High at apex of rim
- Beautifully decorated in a unique combination of elegant Victorian & Art Nouveau style, lavish detail and design, featuring well defined scalloped and pointed rim, embossed, molded, sculptured edges, heavy gold gild on rim with gold sparkled coming down into blue outer border, culminating in stunning multicolored textured metallic sort of paint in a floral motif, each stem and leaf of petal on flowers outlined in gold - truly one of the nicest designs we have come across in our myriad experience and collection of Limoges
- Hallmark is a double hallmark, the first being under glaze, the green 7-point star with one of the letters of LIMOGES in each point and FRANCE below, and second mark is over glaze, a blue multi-pointed star with LIMOGES FRANCE around circle and what appears to be a CA superimposed upon each other, but different from Charles Ahrenfeldt mark, which we have not seen before, so any input would be appreciated - Coiffe mark dates these pieces to 1891-1914 production.
- We hope we have captured the beauty of this stunning piece as we are not photographers
- Please look at all photos as they are an integral part of description
This is a welcome addition to any collection and a lavish Limoges collector plate to treasure, and we are thrilled to offer it (them) to market for your pleasure.
