This is an exquisite Limoges mold - one that is a harder to find shape. I absolutely love the raised ribbony effect that is part of the mold. This lovely, lovely Tray is signed and dated by the artist - Lulu Lutz, December 1905 - and is exquisitely painted with Pink Poppies. The artist has painted with raised black stamen in the center of the flowers, along with their pretty leaves and unopened buds. The background color blending is exceptional and looks like a view of the sky. The rim and the ribbon accent are painted in thick Gold.

This beautiful Tray measures a large 13 7/8" long and 10" wide.

It is in exceptional condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines or wear. The colors are phenomenal and the Gold looks great.

It doesn't have a mark, but I have included pictures of another tray that I have that is the exact same mold and is a Limoges Gerard, Dufraisseix & Morel mark 1,
