Pair of c 1900 Tressemann & Vogt Limoges Fish in Net Cabinet Plate

Porcelain : Antique : Limoges : Tressemann & Vogt (Tv)

 

A fabulous pair of Limoges cabinet plates by Tressemann & Vogt, each depicting a pair of fish in a net. Wonderful display plates, these have a creamy ivory backdrop for slightly different hand-decorated images of two fish swimming beyond a golden fishnet, with underwater foliage and seaweed enhancing the view. The plate rims and fish are gilt trimmed, with each plate draped with a gold net.

Not quite round yet not quite square, these plates measure 8-3/4” in diameter, with four rounded sides joined by four soft corners. These plates are marked with a very faint overglaze red Tressemann & Vogt TV bell mark, accompanied by a Lovington Bros. Retailers mark, dating them to around the early 1900s (c.1892 - 1907). Both are in excellent condition, with great appeal and minimal wear, and only one small nick to the foot of one plate.
