Some background - Pouyat Family Tree: Jean Pouyat established a company circa 1842 in Limoges and was succeeded by his sons Emile (1806-92), Louis (b 1809) and Leonard-Eugene (1817-76). Emile trained at Locre factory (Paris) and was head of the Limoges factory from 1849 to 1883. W. Guerin bought the Pouyat Limoges factory in 1911. As a result, we are dating this to c 1880s.

Elite Works LImoges France Oyster Plate This is an elegant Elite Works, Bawo and Dotter Limoges France oyster plate with violets! The detail is gorgeous, and the gold is amazing. The overall condition is excellent; however, there is a small fleabite/restoration, which can barely be seen, but can be felt. It can be seen in our last picture. We have priced this beauty accordingly.

We have just added a photo, showing the fleabite next to a dime, so you can see the actual size of the fleabite. It is just about the same size as FDR's eye.

We have a fabulous porcelain repair person here in South Florida, but this is so hard to see, that we chose not to have it restored. If you wish a restoration, we can have that arranged.

Circa 1891-1900.

Diameter is 8 3/4 inches.

Exquisite Limoges Oyster Plate With Seaweed! JUST REDUCED!

This plate’s spectacular porcelain shape and relief detail is beautifully enhanced with a very realistic-looking, flowing seaweed transfer. The scallop shell oyster wells create an appealing contour and texture. The coloration of the seaweed is very natural and stands out superbly on this plate’s bright white porcelain.

The green under glaze mark reads: "B. H." inside the shield, "FRANCE" above the shield "LIMOGES" down the left hand side and "CADEUX" up the right hand side. We believe this plate to be over 80 years – somewhat later than 1891 but probably before the first World War.

It is approximately 10 1/2 inches in diameter.

This is a beautiful Limoges porcelain oyster plate, in pristine condition. It would make the perfect cornerstone for a fine display or a worthy addition to any oyster plate collection.

Six Superb Elite Works Oyster Plates Bawo & Dotter began importing porcelain to New York City, in the 1860’s, and later developed its own Limoges, France studio (Elite Works). In 1920, the firm amalgamated the famous Limoges names of Wm. Guérin and Jean Pouyat. In 1932, however, the Elite Works closed, leaving behind a rich history as a premier producer, decorator and merchandiser of exquisite Limoges porcelain. According to the red decorating mark, these oyster plates date from the Guérin-Pouyat-Elite period. The porcelain mold, itself, is an Elite Works classic, too, as indicated by green under glaze mark applied. The five shell-shaped oyster wells cluster around a center sauce well, which is scallop-shaped and surrounded by a hand painted gold star fish. The delicately beautiful pink floral transfers weave in and out of the oyster wells. The rim is nicely accented in gold and remains in superb condition on all six plates. All alone, each of these six lovely pieces would make a fine addition to any collection of oyster plates or fine porcelain. As a set of six, they not only compound their rarity and overall display appeal, but also afford the opportunity of table service. These plates will take some loving use without losing their beauty.
