Limoges Flambeau Decorative Plate Large Cabbage Rose Hand Painted Max 1890-1914

  
DESCRIPTION: The beautiful hand painted plate was decorated by the talented artist, Max. The color palette used is pink, green and brown on light yellow w/gold. This is such a realistic painting of a cabbage rose and was obviously meant to be displayed as a wall hanging plaque due to the factory drilled hole in the foot of the rim that still holds the original heavy string. CONDITION: While this decorative plate is classified as used, its condition is superb.

We can find no defects or damage. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches, crazing or hairlines. It is clean & white on the back. The gold either has age appropriate wear or was originally applied to appear as such. There is no wear to the paint.

DIMENSIONS: This plate has a diameter of 9 3/4" with a height of 1 1/4". Was apparently a New York importing company with ties to both Limoges, France and Bavaria. Most Flambeau China marks carry the L. Initials as part of the mark. The quality of painting by Flambeau was quite high and many of the famous Limoges artists' signatures such as Rene', Dubois, Luc, Levy, Max or Andre' can be found on their wares.

No examples have been found decorated by American artists (Mary Frank Gaston's Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition). The green underglaze white ware mark on this charger is that of Flambeau China L. The artist, Max, worked for many Limoges pottery studios including J. Boyer, Coronet, Flambeau, Pouyat, L.

Max specialized in painting flowers, game birds & scenic landscapes. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
