Superb Hand Painted French Limoges Lemonade Cider Pitcher ~ Stunning Artwork and Porcelain Mold ~ Wonderful Heirloom Treasure ~ Victorian Roses ~ Artist Signed "Louis" Circa 1900

This is Just an Exceptional and Masterful hand painted HAVILAND LIMOGES FRENCH Large Cider Pitcher ~ completely and expertly hand painted by a superbly talented late 19th, or early 20th Century American porcelain artist ~ a truly gorgeous example done in the naturalistic floral style.

This beautiful piece features a Breathtaking floral art design of LARGE ROSES nestled within beautiful multi colored greenery. The color palette is wonderfully vivid and bold ~ TRULY STUNNING. This is certainly one of the finest and most “One-of-a-Kind” pieces I have seen and have had the pleasure of owning.

This prominent, and extremely talented Artist used a beautiful color palette on this BEAUTY ~ hand painted in deep rich colors that are truly breathtaking. The beautiful multi colored background and wonderful shades of greenery creates a stunning contrast to the GORGEOUS PINK, BURGUNDY, YELLOW, and CREAM VICTORIAN TEA ROSES which are portrayed in the classic French Limoges style, with petals gently leaning into a reflective pool of water, the surface of which is shimmering with yellow, burgundy, and reflective green highlights.

The decorative handle is Breathtaking ~ with an elaborate fashioned shape decorated in wonderful Roman Coin Gold. A beautiful ruffled edge is trimmed in heavy gold with lovely brushed gold work completely around the outer embossed porcelain design work. Gorgeous embossed fluted skirt base which is also adorned with beautiful brushed gold work.

This beauty measures a very impressive Large 6 7/8” in height, and measures 4 1/2” across the base. Artist signed "Louis" at the base of handle. Marked underneath with the Theodore Haviland, Mark 34, circa 1904 -1920. With the exception of two extremely small dots of paint loss near the base of handle, this French Beauty is in Excellent Condition ~ I find no chips, cracks, or gold loss.

Truly a lovely Victorian Fine High Quality Antique Limoges France Porcelain from the turn of the century, and should be proudly displayed in any room. Please email me if you have any questions. I have displayed this beauty with a Gorgeous Limoges Plaque that is available for sale in a separate listing. I sincerely appreciate you viewing my "pretties".
