Manufacturer: ANTIQUE FRENCH PATE SUR PATE BOX W PORTRAIT
Antique French pate sur pate porcelain footed box. Made Limoges, in the best Sevres style, early 20th century. <P><P>
Measures 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 2 inches high. <P><P>
Box stands are 3 curving legs, shaped like dolphins, richly gilded. The colour scheme of the box is gold and white - white ground with delicate gold patterns and wider gilded borders to rims. In the center of the lid is a round reserve, encircled with raised 'jeweled' or beaded gold orbs, encircling a soft green-grey ground with a pate sur pate miniature portrait of a woman seen in profile. Porcelain and decoration are of very good quality. <P><P>
Marked under the box with an N in a roped circular border with Limoges France in the circle. Handwritten underneath in red is N or V.552. The lid has a hand engraved mark that is very difficult to see, let alone photograph. It looks like
Jalers or Jalen Limoges, but the first letter could be an F. <P><P>
Very good condition. No chips/cracks/restorations. |
