Direct from my own collection, exclusively to the internet comes this wonderful antique Limoges set. Each piece measuring approximately 4 1/4" across, this authentic art nouveau treasure dates back quite a few years...it is NOT A REPRODUCTION!. I'm not sure, but they were probably made to go on a vanity or dresser...perhaps even as part of a larger vanity set.

There's a lovely long oval trinket box or dish and a curvey matching pin tray both made by this most desireable French company. Both pieces are a rich creamy porcelain with the inside of the box a swirly almost pyschedelic lustre ware type finish. It was difficult to catch the purples and other iridescent colors, but they are there and are a nice touch. The two pieces are just screaming of the Art Nouveau period with a total of four hand painted pastel butterflies on them.
The back of the little tray is marked with the Limoges mark as well as the artist's signature. They are as follows"SEYNE" "LIMOGES FRANCE" "E.Glade" The oval piece is marked as follows"D. & C.", "FRANCE". This unique period piece is in excellent condition and without damage or repair. I seldom see such appealing artist signed Limoges...especially authentic Nouveau period items. Perfect to go with your Alfonse Mucha artwork, this is a vanity set sure to appeal to the pickiest of collectors! |
