MRS. SHORTT'S HANDPAINTED VIOLETS NAPPY DISH
'AMETHYST VIOLETS' FRENCH TEA PLATE w ELEGANT GOLD FINGER RING. Antique hand painted Limoges Floral Art Nappy Dish or Bonbon Tray w Gilded Ring Handle, circa 1900, completely handpainted and signed: 'E.H. SHORTT': a late 19th Century American Victorian Period china painter, or early 20th Century Edwardian Era porcelain artist.
A reminder of simple pleasures, this sweet nappy -- perhaps used a Century ago for bon-bons, after-dinner mints or a warm fingertip-towel -- is expertly painted with a soft spray of violets against a silver gray background. The simple mold is enhanced by a thin gold rim and gold ring handle, accenting the royal purple of the violets beautifully. The quick brush strokes of this charming painting are testament to the artist's talent which created this piece with confidence and speed. This is a lovely accent piece for any setting.
Excellent overall condition, but with some 'loving wear' to the Coin Gold ring handle. The century old 'Violets' china painting itself is in pristine condition, perfectly preserved within a lustrous glass overglaze finish. 6-1/4" Diameter ANTIQUE HAND PAINTED LIMOGES NAPPY DISH or AFTERNOON TEA SERVICE PLATE for lemon wedges, bonbons, cookies or sweets. Artist signed on back.
