About Us
Quality product and amazing service. But why take my word for it? My customers say:

"Thanks. I wasn't able to pick it up until today. The pot looks beautiful. You did a great job of packing it - the outer box was damaged in shipping but the inner box was pristine, as was the pot."

"The gorgeous Limoges vase is even more gorgeous in person! It looks amazing in the dining room!!"

"Ann, Received my jar today. I just love it and what a great packing job. That little thing couldn't break in shipment even if it wanted to. Thanks Again!"

"Oh my oh my! What a GORGEOUS piece of Limoges!
Obviously it arrived today, extremely well packed and just
beautiful:-) Thank you so much!"

"The Stouffer is absolutely gorgeous. I knew it would be nice here but I had not thought it would be SO very perfect. I have a painting . . . . that has pride of place in my living room, over the couch. There is a very strong green colour surrounding the vase in the painting. The Stouffer is EXACTLY that green colour. The effect is simply unbelievable. I love these dramatic colours as long as the balance is there. I have worked so long with decorating my apt and it is not often I make a find like this . . .As always it was perfectly packed. I'm sure one could have played soccer with that box without breaking anything!!!"


"I did receive your package yesterday afternoon in perfect condition. The vase is just stunning, I could not be more pleased. It has already been placed in a prominent position for all to see. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I hope we will do it again."

"My collection was originally going to consist of pitchers with fruit decorations. But this one has irises, the flower that stands primarily for faith, hope, courage, wisdom. Please keep me in mind if you find a special pitcher. This pitcher is gorgeous; the colors, artistry, uniqueness, shape and I love the irises. I will enjoy it, every day!"

"The cup now stands on the chest together with the other items. It is gorgeous, even more elegant than I had envisioned. And it's the perfect match, particularly for the Pickard items. Lovely packed as usual. I am so very happy I got it. Thank you very much again!"

"I have just found the right place for the set, which is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I am so glad I found this set. This is, indeed, true beauty. Again, the set is gorgeous and never have I received anything better and more professionally packed. I will visit your store again and look for more treasures. Thank you again for interesting information about Pickard. I appreciate it very much."

"Ann, I am speechless . . . this (tureen) is beautiful, and your packaging excellent. I've never seen anyone pack this well."

"The bowls arrived this morning and they are just sensational. Perfect for my existing china and exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!"

"This dish is darling, I've never seen one before with the green trim, very bright and festive. And you wrapped it so well it arrived in perfect condition! I will be back to your shop."

"Yes, I received it earlier this week and the pieces are just perfect! Thank you so much! If you get any other pieces in, please let me know--Thank you again--you made my day!"

"I received the gorgeous replacement sugar bowl piece to my Limoges collection. I'm so pleased w/the superior condition of this piece and its companion, the creamer. Thanks also for going the extra mile on the wrapping of both shipments. Look forward to purchasing any more Concord you may come across."

"I received the concord creamer yesterday. . . It's beautiful and w/regard to the cream border (top half) the color is in better condition than my set. . . . I want to purchase the sugar bowl from you, if you still have it, and any other pieces you have now, or may encounter in the future."

"Dear Ann, The grand lady [chocolate pot] arrived this afternoon looking beautiful!
She is everything you promised! Many thanks."

"The pieces arrived in perfect condition. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am. Each is a beauty to me. I will be visiting your shop in the future."

"The pitcher is just beautiful! I am so happy with it. I've washed it and polished up the gold trim, and it is gorgeous. You are so right.....the design of little flowers in
the mold matches the one on the handle, making the design so unique. The colors and painting are so lovely. I'm sure you can tell how much I like the pitcher! I hope to enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you so much for your careful attention to my purchase."

"I received the lovely oyster plate in perfect condition. I've already placed it in a place of importance in my parlor."

"Hi Ann, I literally just opened your package. All is in good order, and the plate is lovely. I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"Thanks for keeping tabs on it. It did arrive yesterday, safely, and the cups
are lovely. Thanks very much and all good wishes."

"Hello Ann, I have collected the vase, very pleased with it, many thanks for the contact, will look out for more items on your site, many thanks. The packing was superb, many thanks again."

"Ann;
Just wanted to let you know the package arrived today and I just had a chance to open tonight. Everything was in good order. Thanks for the great packing job! Its always a bit hairy opening fragile and unique things of this nature always wondering 'what if?'. It's beautiful and I know my wife will really like it. Thanks again and have a blessed Christmas."

"I just returned from the Post Office to pick up the package- all is in perfect condition! Thank you again for everything, and I hope to do more business with you in the future."

"Thank you for letting me know of the arrival of the powder bowl. As soon as I read your e-mail, I rushed down to the village to pick it up. What a most charming little thing! I love it better in person. I also wish to express my gratitude for your careful packing. The happy little bowl shall grace my vanity. I will be certain to peek into your shop again."

"They are both REALLY beautiful pots and beautifully packed too. Thanks so much for everything!"

"I received the lovely oyster plate in perfect condition. I've already placed it in a place of importance in my parlor."

"Ann, it [the tray] has arrived! And, it's beautiful!! It makes the perfect gift for a kind friend who has done so much for me. Thanks so much!"

"I picked up the pitcher yesterday. It is in perfect shape due to your superb packing job I'm sure. The pitcher is adorable and unlike any I have seen, just what I like. It has been a pleasure doing business with you!"

'Ann, it is fabulous. Please keep me posted on any other plates you may have in the future."

'Beautifully packed. We love both pieces."

"I love it . . . THANK YOU!!!"

"The pieces are very nice and I appreciate the service."

I offer you the very best at reasonable prices. Buyers love my porcelain and packing, you will too. See ebay feedbacks for limogeboy (I do have two retaliatory negative feedbacks).

Welcome and enjoy a stroll through the aisles of Porcelain Parlor, where the emphasis is increasingly on the scarce blanks, signatures, subjects, and studio marks! Whether it's a trio of White's Art Company plates with some newly discovered artist signatures, a tall hand painted roses tankard, beautifully executed, with original artist notation re paint colors used handwritten on the base (talk about rare!) or a Pickard peonies urn delightfully painted and signed by respected artist Howard Reury, you will find it here. Have I mentioned the uncut poodle portrait, signed by book artist Luc, or a hand painted, signed Limoges tobacco jar? How about a gorgeous cobalt and gold Limoges lidded box, one of the most intricate blanks and mostly costly decoration I've ever seen? Another masterpiece is my stunning hand painted covered box signed top and bottom by book artist J. Marsay! There are so many rare and stunning pieces here. Stroll and as you do, keep your eyes wide open for the many pieces you literally won't see anywhere, ever again.

*****There is no substitute for diligent searching and extensive reading.*****

I began collecting and researching antique porcelain several years ago after inheriting some china from my grandmother. One piece was an artist signed Limoges dish and when I started trying to identify the artist and factory and pin down its age, I realized how many Limoges marks, signatures and blanks there are. Years of study followed my initial search.

This led me into buying and selling, see my sterling record on ebay as limogeboy (I do have two retaliatory negative feedbacks). I enjoy finding rare marks, blanks and signatures and while not a scholar myself I try to add to the knowledge of these porcelain treasures whenever I find something not already documented. I am a member of the Pickard Collectors Club, and take a special interest in Chicago Studios porcelain.
