This is a handsome hand painted Limoges cabinet game plate. This colorful plate is expertly hand painted with a quail in flight over a natural marshland setting. Background colors are shades of golden yellow, peach, greens and burnt orange. The painting almost appears as if the artist sponged painted some of the background colors melting one into the other. The artist `Thomas' has signed the front of this piece. There are no hairlines or cracks; manufacturing anomalies do exist, the occasional tiny iron speck, dust 'bump' in the glaze, etc. Wonderful addition to anyone's game plate Limoges collection or would look great in a gentleman's den or study!!!
