$125.00

This is one of those signature Limoges pieces that is easily recognizable by the collector of fine Limoges porcelain. The plate measures 9 1/8 inches in diameter across the scalloped rim highlighted by embossed blossoms and a band of rich Roman gold. The pair of red roses cascade on stem and leaf to the center of the plate. The factory artist, L. Auguste, has paid careful attention to detail. Note the thorns on the stems, the detailed leaves and shadow foliage, and the gold leaves at the center that are signatory of his work. A rich deep green sets off the stunning composition.The plate has been triple marked - rare indeed! It bears the Bawo & Dotter Elite underglaze factory mark 5 in green that was used after 1900. In addition it bears overglaze decorating marks 9 and 10 that were used from 1900-1914. There are no chips, cracks, crazing or damages of any kind.While this listing is for one plate, I have two plates in this size and pattern that are available for sale. Please contact me if you wish to purchase more than one of these gorgeous plates. I also have one additional plate in the same pattern that measure 8 1/4 in diameter.
