Antique T&v Limoges Mark 6 Handpainted Currants Punch Bowl Signed'm R' Gold

  

HERE IS A MAGNIFICENT, ANTIQUE, HAND PAINTED LIMOGES PORCELAIN, PUNCH BOWL, IN A CURRANTS DESIGN. UNIQUE ABOUT THIS PIECE IS THE ELABORATE DESIGN BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BOWL. THE ARTIST COMBINES ELEMENTS IN THE DESIGN FROM THE FRENCH STYLE PAINTING OF THE1880's WITH THAT OF THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT OF THE POST-1890's.

THE PASTEL SHADINGS OF GREEN, BLUE, BEIGE, PINK AND RED ON A WHITE PORCELAIN BACKGROUND. THE OUTSIDE DESIGN FEATURES THE MORE FLAT COLORS OF MOSS GREEN, RED AND MAROON.

THE INTERIOR RIM OF THIS BOWL HAS A VERY HEAVY GOLD, SCROLLED BORDER TOPPED BY THE FINELY SCALLOPED RIM. A FINAL ENHANCEMENT ON THE INTERIOR DESIGN IS THE BAND OF SCROLLS AND LATTICE HIGHLIGHTED IN WHITE ENAMELING. THIS BOWL MEASURES 9 1/4 INCHES DIAMETER AND IS 4 1/4 INCHES HIGH.

THE ARTIST'S INITIALS IN RED ARE ON THE BOTTOM: M. THIS BOWL HAS NO CRACKS OR CHIPS AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

HERE IS A VERY ELEGANT EXAMPLE OF EARLY LIMOGES HAND PAINTED CHINA. IT SHOWS INTRICATE DETAIL IN THE BERRY DESIGN. IT IS AN EXTREMELY COLORFUL PIECE OF PORCELAIN FOR THAT LIMOGES COLLECTION OR ANY TYPE OF FINE CHINA DISPLAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIEWING.
