French Gilt Limoges Style Porcelain Handled Centerpiece

About the Item

This listing features a Limoges style cobalt blue handled centerpiece with gilt bronze and hand painted ornamentation. There are no visible markings to suggest that this is an original Limoges piece, but the craftsmanship of this decor is very strong. Limoges is a term that encompasses a variety of porcelain pieces produced in a specific area, a middle region slightly west of France. In the 1770s, it was discovered that areas with rich suitable clay were located near Limoges, and so, several porcelain factories set up shop in this region. Limoges pieces are still highly collected and sought after, with the factory-decorated "Limoges" being the most desired and valuable. These pieces were hand-painted by French factory artists (rather than the design applied as a decal-transfer-like a sticker).
