Gigi Limited Edition Plates

Item #	Description	Price
Click for more detail... 9559	Gigi Limited Edition Plate Gigi is the first issue in the Gigi series of limited-edition collector’s plates, created on fine Limoges porcelain and bearing the hallmark of D’Arceau-Limoges and the only collector’s plate series issued under the official auspices of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for the Oscar-winning film. Painted by Jean Claude Guidou exclusively for this collection and issued in an edition closed forever after one hundred firing days. The Impressionistic background of bright spring blossoms is perfect, for this Gigi is herself an unopened flower. Her pose is buoyant; in a moment, it seems, she will leap up and dance away. Her figure appears almost weightless and the vigor of M. Guidou’s line in her hat, hair, and blouse seems to left her bodily from the bench that provides her only anchor. Brochures printed in French, German and English detailing all the fine points and history of the painting and the artist are included to enhance your enjoyment of this artistic work.

Painted by French artist Claude Boulmé and created on fine Limoges porcelain bearing the hallmark of D’Arceau-Limoges.

He is Napoléon Bonaparte, soon to be Emperor of France, already master of Joséphine’s heart." Comment by L. W.

Painted by French artist Claude Boulmé and created on fine Limoges porcelain bearing the hallmark of D’Arceau-Limoges. "The price of greatness can be cruel, even to an Emperor. Across the length and breadth of Europe Napoléon has proclaimed his devotion to his beloved Joséphine. He has even placed the crown of Empress upon her head. But there is one thing she cannot give him in return: an heir. And so, after agonizing for two long years, the heartbroken Emperor finally faces his bitter obligation to put the welfare of his nation before that of his own marriage. Joséphine, though, is in no mood to understand the imperatives of mere politics; for as she hands back the divorce papers with her signature, her eyes reflect the crushing pain of love withdrawn."

Painted by French artist Claude Boulmé and created on fine Limoges porcelain bearing the hallmark of D’Arceau-Limoges. "The Emperor Napoléon has already lost the one true love in his life – the beautiful Joséphine – and divorced her, for the good of the nation, because she could not bear his heir. Now, despite this sacrifice, the enemies of France have succeeded in their bloody campaign to drive Napoléon off the map of continental Europe. But even as he is stripped of his throne and exiled to the island of Elba, his parting thoughts are with his beloved. As Joséphine reads his final letter, her serene smile tells us much about this woman and the man who once placed the French crown on her head………….she, too, still cares." Comment by L. W.
