ELEGANT LS&S LEWIS STRAUSS & SONS LIMOGES 9in GOLD & WHITE ROUND SERVING BOWL:
$29.99
Maker and age: The renowned Limoges firm Lewis Strauss and Sons, whose mark appears on the base of this elegant large serving bowl, decorated and exported high quality porcelain from France and other European countries. The firm is also known as Lazarus Strauss & Sons.
Other pieces in this dinner service - but not this bowl - have a green white ware mark with the phrase \"M de M France Limoges\". This is the first mark used by Mavaleix. Paul Maurice Mavaleix produced fine porcelain that was usually decorated by other Limoges firms, as is the case here, from around 1908 until the factory closed around 1938. This mark was in use from 1908 to 1914 and it\'s likely - though not confirmed - that this bowl was also produced by Mavaleix. Source: Third Edition of the Collector\'s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frank Gaston.
Design: In keeping with the exceptionally high quality that made Limoges porcelain so famous and so coveted, the bowl is beautifully hand painted with a band of stylized gold filigree against a backdrop of thin translucent white porcelain.
Size: The bowl is 9 1/2 inches wide and 4 inches tall. It weighs 2 pounds.
Condition: It\'s in excellent condition with no marks, nicks, chips, cracks, stains, scratches, crazing, utensil marks or significant wear. There is light wear to the edge and gold band; that can be seen in the photos. There is a dark embedded spot on the side; it was created in the manufacturing process and is shown in the photo with the penny. Please check all the photos very carefully - they are an important part of the description.
