$295 USDPair pink roses Limoges candlesticks with raised gilt accents
Porcelain:By Maker Or Type:French:Limoges
It’s been years since I’ve located a matching pair of hand painted Limoges candlesticks, and these stand a full eight inches tall! Looking ahead to the holidays, they would be so lovely on the family table, and you could use gold, pink, or blue candles as well as soft white. The bases are adorned with hand painted pink roses, raised gilt scrollwork, and the beautiful robin’s-egg blue highlights bring it all together. Photo shows the most decorated side of the holders. The base of each holder ...
$195 USDLimoges Pitkin & Brooks carnations sugar and creamer, unusual blanks
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges
I’ve never sold these graceful blanks before, and if you need some icing on your cake, the pieces also bear a seldom-seen mark for the Pitkin & Brooks firm of importers that decorated these Limoges wares. The blanks are so intriguing with their deep scallops, and the sugar lid has a beautiful raised molded flower. The creamer handle has a thumbrest that looks like a feather! The flowers are deep rust and magenta carnations and the pieces are decorated on all sides. Condition is excellent and the ...
$1,200 USDD & Co Limoges lady's hand painted manicure tray set with nail buffer, artist signed
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges:Manicure Dresser Set
The charm of this antique hand painted forget-me-nots Limoges lady’s manicure tray set (including the porcelain nail buffer resting in its barge-shaped holder!) is undeniable, with its lavish blanks and sweet decoration of hand painted forget-me-nots. The American artist, E.D.U., has signed her initials on the unglazed tray bottom. The set is between 109 and 115 years old and ALL pieces bear the same mark for the Delinieres firm. Unlike many other Limoges vanity or dresser sets, all these pieces ...
$85 USDHaviland ranson gravy or sauce boat with 2 spouts, pink roses, attached underplate
Porcelain:French:Limoges:Haviland
This lovely Haviland sauce or gravy boat on the ranson blank is in excellent condition, there are no structural flaws but I did find and take close-ups of a small pinpoint dark spot that probably is a manufacturer's flaw. The underplate is just shy of 9 inches long, the double spouted boat itself is about 7 inches from the edge of one spout to the other, and it stands about 3 inches high. Please see the close-up of the florals if trying to match existing pieces, the sauce or gravy boat has ...
$225 USDHaviland Limoges handpainted plate signed Jennings with pink flowers, irregular gilt border
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges:Haviland:Department Store Mark
One of the most interesting things about the artist Jennings, a North Dakota painter who worked in the early 1900s, is her distinctive use of gilt borders to enhance the beauty of her china painting. Here she has embellished the curving, irregular gilt border with hand applied black curlicues. She uses a range of green shades from near-black to pale mint to set off the range of pinks in the flowers and the greens are more reminiscent of the sea than anything one might find in a garden. It's also ...
$75 USDElite Works Bawo & Dotter Limoges box with hand painted roses, petite size
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges
Tiny treasure dating no earlier than 1900, this fully hand painted exquisite small hand painted Limoges roses lidded box may have been used to store pins. The box is in excellent condition and bears the Bawo & Dotter or Elite Works Mark 5 in green, about 1900. The roses are yellow, pale pink, and deep pink, and they have raised accent colors. The leaves have been highlighted with deep pink for texturing and there are washes of pale pastel colors around the base of the box as well. Box stands 1 1 ...
$275 USDHaviland Limoges teapot individual demitasse 1888--1896
Porcelain:Antique
The Haviland Ranson identification collectors publication features an image of a Ranson teapot they called “two-tasse”; this 19th century pot is very similar but not identical to the one they show; this one is slightly smaller, measuring less than four inches to the spout and a bit under five to the top of the lid finial. The pot measures a scant two and one-half inches across its base diameter. The pot was factory decorated in Limoges, France, and bears the red Haviland decorating mark. It also ...
$125 USDArt nouveau Bavarian purple lilies plate signed Cary
Porcelain:Antique:Bavaria
Glorious purple lilies painted in the art nouveau style and signed by the artist, Cary; the plate is in excellent condition and the gilt is quite astonishing for the age of the plate, tiny loss. Design elements are outlined in flat gilt and the meandering of the artwork around the border and rim is very typical of the art nouveau style. The 8 1/2-inch diameter Bavarian plate was made by the Tirschenreuth Bavarian factory circa 1909.
$125 USDBawo & Dotter Limoges toast tray, handpainted pansies
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges
Latrille Freres made the blank for this charming, handpainted toast tray factory decorated by the Elite Works (Bawo & Dotter) and marks for the two firms date the piece between the 1890s and 1914. Each view is distinct so when you tire of one side you can turn it around and enjoy the other. No chips, cracks, or repairs and the bottom is unglazed so those who drench their toast in butter won’t send it skidding into their companion’s lap! The toast tray measures 7 ˝ inches long, about 4 inches ...
$395 USDCAC Ceramic Art Company grapes stein mug on elaborate blank
Porcelain:Antique:Ceramic Art Company
Superbly hand painted with grapes ranging from yellow to deep purple tones, this elaborate stein or mug bears an early (1898--1906) mark for the Ceramic Art Company of Trenton, New Jersey. Detailed artwork is enhanced by the incredibly elaborate blank, which has raised designs in the clay along the handle and base. Skillful blending of the background colors is one of many indicators of the artist’s skill. Mug or stein stands a full six inches tall. This appears to be a left-handed mug, while ...
$125 USDLimoges cherub tray with reticulated border, gilt
Porcelain:French:Limoges
This is another piece for collectors who, like me, will forgive a little gilt and paint wear to own something truly unusual. Let's assume the cherub is writing in the Book of Love and not in a ledger accounting for good deeds! The cherub is a transfer combined with some hand painted details and there is light crazing to his body. The brushed gilt around the scalloped rim edge also shows some wear, I assume the gilt detail above the cherub's head is meant to resemble angel's wings, see close-up ...
$195 USDLRL Limoges soup tureen with molded handles and finial
Porcelain:French:Limoges
I was struck by the intricacy of the molded finial and handles of the lid of this lovely Limoges soup tureen and not surprised to see the LRL (Lazeyras, Rosenfeld & Lehman) mark, this was apparently a decorating firm that produced very elaborate pieces in the 1920s. The tureen stands 8 inches high to the top of the elegant finial, and measures nearly 13 inches in length handle to handle, an imposing and lovely addition to any table or display piece. There is some gilt loss to the brushed gilt at ...
$125 USDLanternier Limoges hollyhocks plate with beaded border
Porcelain:French:Limoges
Limoges collectors recognize hollyhocks as a fairly unusual design element in Limoges, these pink hollyhocks have raised white enameled accents and the plate’s scalloped edge is emphasized by a high beaded gilt border. Dramatic display and the Lanternier factory decorated plate is in excellent condition, a couple of small scratches on the white border are not distracting. Diameter is 9 1/2 inches.
$275 USDLanternier Limoges large bowl with scalloped rim edge
Porcelain:French:Limoges
Whether you are looking for eye-popping pieces for your china cabinet or the perfect bowl to adorn your dining room table, this gorgeous large Limoges high scalloped edge bowl commands attention. Produced and decorated at the well-known Lanternier factory between 1891 and 1914, the bowl is a rare mold. The bowl is an incredible 13 inches long and nine inches wide and an impressive four inches deep. The only other pieces I have seen roughly this shape and size are Haviland jardiničres from the ...
$150 USDLarge Theodore Haviland meat platter, pink roses, with well
Porcelain:French:Limoges
This large Theodore Haviland meat platter with well to catch drippings dates 1904--1920s and it measures 15 3/4 inches by more than 12 inches wide. Please refer to the close-ups if trying to match existing pieces, there are many of these multicolored floral patterns. The platter is in excellent condition, I noted some manufacturer's flaws and a nick on the underside rim base, see close-ups.
$215 USDAntique Pickard signed Rean plate Carnation and Raised Gold on Haviland blank
Porcelain:Antique:Pickard
This Pickard plate from the 1905--1910 era is signed Rean for Maxwell Rean Klipphan, one of Pickard's most talented and respected artists. This is the design called Carnation and Raised Gold and there are examples in Alan Reed's book of the design painted by both Klipphan and Emil Fischer. The 8 5/8 inch diameter plate is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs but there is gilt loss to various parts of the raised design. The painted and flat design portions are intact. There ...
$135 USDLatrille Freres Limoges sugar and creamer heavy raised gold paste wheat motif
Porcelain:French:Limoges
For sheer artistry and attention to detail, Limoges predating World War I can't be beat; and this stunning factory decorated sugar and creamer set bearing marks for the Old Abbey (Latrille Freres) firm has enough gilt to satisfy even those who believe you can't gild the lily! Ripe and unripe stalks of wheat are an unusual subject and you'll know you own something apart from the usual roses, however pretty they may be . . . The handles and finial have a sinuous and elegant, nearly serpent-like ...
$175 USDCoiffe Straus Limoges spider mums cake plate reticulated handles
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges
While it’s wrong to judge a book by its cover, certain marks on Limoges porcelain herald a highly opulent and professional French decoration, and the export mark of the Lewis Straus firm is among them. Here we have a stunning Limoges reticulated handled cake plate depicting spider mums and leaves enclosed in a lavish gilt-on-magenta border. The plate is 11 inches across its handles, near mint, gilt nearly 100 percent and a couple of tiny areas of paint loss to the spider mums blend into the ...
$135 USDLewis Straus and Sons Limoges portrait plate courting couple in period dress
Porcelain:French:Limoges
Courting couple dressed in period costume and wonderfully framed by a raised double gilt border, would make a lovely addition to any boudoir or dressing area. The 8 1/2 inch plate bears the LS & S mark and dates 1890s--mid-1920s. It is free of any chips, cracks, or repairs, there is slight gilt loss to the high points of the border design. Limoges decorated with people is always harder to find than the usual fruits and flowers, and the fancy border makes for such a marvelous display.
$110 USDHand painted antique Haviland plate children with string phones
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges:Haviland
This unique and evocative hand painted Haviland plate from the 1880s depicts a young boy and girl using what my father says were called "string phones" in his day. The plate does have a chip on the scalloped rim edge and a tight hairline crack that extends down to the top of the boy's hat. I have also taken close-ups of three pinpoint sized indentations which are manufacturer's flaws. The painting is well executed with the figures perfectly proportioned and lovely detail in the costumes, you ...
$795 USDLarge hand painted 19th century Limoges portrait vanity trinket powder box
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges
Peeping out from her bower of pink wild roses, this Victorian era beauty proves the sentiment of the time for a pair of fine eyes as the true test of loveliness. Her hair seems almost caught in the flowers, stems, and leaves as she gazes out, one flirtatious finger to her rosy lips to urge caution or secrecy. The 19th century artist took great care to decorate the entire circumference of this large box, gilt tracery swirls around rosebuds and open flowers around its entire body. Portrait Limoges ...
$165 USDLimoges Haviland Plymouth butter dish with intact drain
Porcelain:French:Limoges:Haviland
This stunning and hard to find Haviland covered butter dish in the Plymouth pattern has an intact drain and is in very good to excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. Please look carefully at the pictures, the design has multicolored flowers and there are reserves offset by thin black lines. This marvelous three-piece intact butter dish would be an elegant addition to any table or collection. The underplate measures about 8 1/2 inches across the handles and the dish stands about 3 ...
$595 USDLRL Limoges chocolate pot raised gold paste, elaborate mold
Porcelain:French:Limoges
Opulent, elegant, lavish, elaborate and highly desirable Limoges chocolate pot! The raised gilt paste designs were costly and painstaking to produce and more than three-quarters of this remarkable stunner is covered in raised gilt paste. When you tire of one side, simply turn and display a different, equally splendid design on the reverse! Note the care with which the panels running vertically on the body match those on the lid! The LRL mark is said to be found on highly decorated Limoges. If ...
$200 USDLimoges Haviland hatpin hat pin holder with scalloped foot and rim
Porcelain:French:Limoges:Haviland
This is a true scarcity; a 1900--1941 CFH/GDA Haviland Limoges hatpin holder! The holder was factory decorated and is in excellent condition apart from some glaze flaws that have been photographed, these likely occurred during the manufacturing process and don't detract much from presentation as they are all near the bottom of the piece. The holder has a lovely flared body and gilt trimmed scallops at the rim edge and foot. I'm not sure what the pink flowers are but they aren't roses, the ...
$395 USDLarge Coronet Borgfeldt Limoges chocolate pot with pink and yellow roses, lavish gilt
Porcelain:French:Limoges
One is never surprised to find the Borgfeldt (Coronet) Limoges import mark on especially fine antique Limoges porcelain. This chocolate pot was manufactured by the Coiffe firm between 1891 and 1914, with the pot being decorated by the studio the importer maintained in Paris. The pink and yellow roses have raised white enamel accents and an artistic touch I particularly admire is the use of the bright green in conjunction with the gilt trim. The pot measures about 10 ˝ inches high to the top of ...
$595 USDLimoges Brauer Studio signed Challinor bowl strawberries and heavy gilt
Porcelain:Limoges:Pickard, Chicago Studios
When the signature of a renowned artist such as Edward Challinor is wed to the mark of Brauer Studio, you know the gods have smiled . . . looking very hard, I only manage to locate a Brauer piece like this of note, about once a year or less on average. The depiction of full, earthy strawberries and their flowers and greenery by Challinor is enough to make your mouth water! Another Pickard artist, Charles Hahn, did superb versions of strawberries too, but his representation of the fruit is more ...
$285 USDLarge Haviland salad bowl, footed, with double gilt border and multicolored flowers
Porcelain:French:Limoges:Haviland
This large, deep Haviland factory decorated sectioned bowl is pretty enough to use as a centerpiece bowl but is in fact the large salad bowl. It sits up on a scalloped foot and has a double gilt border applied all around the deeply scalloped rim edge. The bowl stands 3 ˝ inches deep and measures 10 inches in diameter across the rim, there is a small rim nick or chip on the underside edge of one scallop, visible mainly from the exterior of bowl. My photos are taken with the area facing toward you ...
$395 USDMartial Redon Limoges ewer artist signed reticulated neck, raised gilt
Porcelain:Antique:French:Limoges
Beautiful antique (1891--1895) Redon Limoges ewer lavishly decorated with raised gilt accents and a reticulated neck. Piece stands 7 1/2 inches tall and is signed on the bottom by the artist, truly lovely piece but has a small rim nick on the outside lip, fortunately this doesn't go all the way through the clay. The blank is featured in the Gaston books in a larger size. The decoration appears professional, flat gilt outlines the design elements and the body has a matte finish, there are some ...
$475 USDNoritake Nippon birds vase, fully hand painted, double intricate handles
Porcelain:Japanese:Noritake Nippon
This charming hand painted Nippon bird vase is large enough to hold an arrangement of long-stemmed flowers or even one of the large dried floral arrangements. The quality of the painting argues for it being a professionally decorated piece, but could be part of the Woman’s Art Movement; the word “amateur” in regard to hand painted porcelains of this time period encompasses a huge world, with some amateurs painting better pieces than some professional studio artists. I do not purchase Nippon for ...
$125 USDOriental cup and saucer landscape with boats, pagodas, and flowers
Porcelain
This incredibly detailed and fine Oriental porcelain cup and saucer set commands attention and will enhance any collection. The porcelain is eggshell thin; the design can be clearly seen through to the inside of the cup, and the composition of the hanging blossoms and pagodas or temples is outlined and highlighted with fine gilt.
