Vintage L S & S Limoges France Hand Painted Bowl

Vintage L S & S Limoges France Hand Painted Bowl

I am unsure of the pattern for this porcelain- The backstamp on this bowl dates it between 1890's-1920's. It is in near MINT condition- no chips,cracks or crazing. Hand painted flowers and gilded gold trim are in excellent condition. Measures 8.5" in diameter. A Little History on L S & S porcelain. Lewis Strauss and Sons was founded in New York City in 1869 as importers of crockery. In 1874, his son Nathan, got RH Macy to allow them to have a glass and chinaware department store, which was the first china and glassware to be sold by Macy's. The company made and imported porcelain from England, France, Germany and Czechoslovakia (later Austria). They has factories and/or offices in London, Paris, Limoges, Rudolstadt, Kamenicky Senov, and Karlovy Vary. The Karlovy Vary operation was a porcelain factory in Stará Role (Altrohlau, Bohemia, Austria) and Kamenický Senov was a glass factory. The company also bought porcelain from several other companies including Moritz Zdekhauer in Stará Role (Altrohlau). They also had a decorating studio on Limoges, France. They were also the a financial backer for Oscar & Edgar Gutherz's factory in Stará Role (Altrohlau). I suppose the son, Nathan took over the company, because the name changed to Nathan Strauss & Company in 1924. The business closed in the 1930′s.
