Description
Limoges is not one maker of porcelain, but a group of manufacturers active in the French city of Limoges. This serving dish was made bewteen 1891 and 1914 by the A. Lanternier company. Handpainted wtih a pink floral design, the dish has intricate scalloped edges. Originally these edges were richly gilded. Today only a hint of the gilding survives. Except for a few chips at the base, the condition of the dish is otherwise very good and suitable for table use.
The dish is 12" L x 8" W x 2" Deep. There are two makers marks: One is green colored reading Limoges A. L. with anchor symbol, and France. The other is brown reading Limoges A. Lanternier France.
