This is an Absolute Gorgeous and Rare French Art-Porcelain mold... Truly an outstanding antique hand painted unmarked Limoges France Floral Art Handled Tray, circa 1899, completely and beautifully handpainted by a very talented late 19th Century American Victorian Period china painter, or early 20th Century Edwardian Era porcelain artist. A beauty for the collector of fine porcelain, especially admirer's of beautiful Victorian Serving Trays ~ This Gorgeous tray most definitely would have been found center stage during Victorian times as an elegant presentation for an afternoon teaset or tea service.

This Beautiful and Gorgeous Feminine tray has been decorated with Breathtaking Victorian Tea Roses in gorgeous dramatic shades of RICH DEEP BURGUNDY AND WHITE ROSES ~ nestled in wonderful greenery which cascades through this gracefully executed china painting.

The overall design is very graceful and a well balanced composition, rendered in a soft and relaxing background palette that allows the Roses to Simply Come to Life. Measures a VERY LARGE 17 3/4" x 17 3/4" in diameter.

This Beauty is in Excellent Condition ~ just the very slightest rubbing of gold ~ and three extremely light and very minor surface scratches to one burgundy rose noted for accuracy. Otherwise, no chips, cracks, hairlines, paint loss, repairs, or surface stains. Please email me if you have any questions. Thank you so very much for viewing my "pretties". I look forward to having the pleasure of doing business with you.
