A. Kleinberg & Dwenger Akd France Antique Limoges Fish Snack Plate Hand Painted

  

KLEINBERG & DWENGER LIMOGES FRANCE. ANTIQUE 6.5 DIAMETER PLATE. PERFECT SIZE TO USE AS A BREAD & BUTTER PLATE, HOR D'OEUVRES PLATE, SNACK PLATE, SARDINE PLATE, ETC... BEAUTIFULLY HAND PAINTED WITH A DEPICTION OF A FISH SWIMMING IN THE SEA NEXT TO SOME SEASHELLS.

I BELIEVE THE ARTIST INTENDED THE FISH IN THE PAINTING TO BE SOME SPECIES OF A TROUT or SALMON. NO CHIPS, CRACKS or CRAZING. IT DOES SOME LIGHT COLOR LOSS / FADING FROM AGE. THIS VERY RARE ITEM WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION. Klingenberg was an accomplished Limoges artisan painter when he opened his own porcelain factory and decorating studio in the Limoges region of France in the early 1880's. There does not seem to be a surfeit of information about Klingenberg or his company other than that he merged with Charles Dwenger's studio sometime in the late 1890's or very early 1900's.

Klingenberg & Dwenger together manufactured porcelain products, produced decorated finished porcelain pieces, and exported them world-wide until 1910 when the company closed its doors. While there may be a paucity of detail about A. Klingenberg and his company, there are numerous astonishingly lovely works of art that this short-lived company left behind.
