Maker: It\'s indisputable: Limoges says quality. And T&V - Tressemann and Vogt - produced some of the world\'s finest and most beautiful Limoges porcelain.
This superb shallow rimmed soup bowl features a gorgeous band of gold netting highlighted with delicate hand painted dark pink primroses and green leaves on a vine. Inside the verge is a circle of intricate gold netting and scrollwork around a pure white center.
Marks and age: The bowl has a green underglaze \"Limoges France\" white ware mark.
The purple T&V bell mark number 16a dates its decoration to between 1907 and 1919. The mark reads \"Décoré par T&V pour Higgins & Seiter New York\". It confirms that T&V produced the bowl for Higgins & Seiter, a high-end New York retailer that closed in 1915. Source: The Collector\'s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frank Gaston, third edition.
