Oval dish in Limoges porcelain W.GUERIN &Cie decorated with floral garlands

This delightful oval dish is made of limoges porcelain. It is marked by the porcelain maker william guerin & cie, a house founded in limoges in 1872 and dissolved in 1920. Dating from the years 1900-1910, it is decorated with a silkscreen frieze in polychromy: floral garlands and stylized shells in delicate tones of green, yellow, pink, blue. The porcelain factories of limoges are famous since the 18th century. Porcelain makers have been awarded several times during their participation in world exhibitions in london, paris, vienna, philadelphia and chicago. In 1925, the international exhibition of decorative arts conferred on limoges the title of "international capital of porcelain". Inspired by decoration and fashion trends, the limoges table is synonymous with the french art of living. Lafarge was a manufacturer and decorator. Limoges porcelain is exceptionally white and translucent. Of high quality, the pieces are worked with finesse and the ornaments are elegant. In good condition, it bears the brand "limoges france" and "w. Guerin & cie". I point out some traces of uses - micro-chips and scratches of use. It measures 35.5 cm X 27.5 cm.in stock, a round dish and 12 flat plates are also available.
