Handsome Limoges game plate with ducks. Vibrant fall colors adorn this hand painted game plate. It features two mallard ducks in a marshland setting. Sunlight illuminates the golden and amber grasses that surround the pair. Background colors are a masterful blending of burnt orange, copper, taupe, peach, with a touch of sky blue. The ornate and scalloped rim of the plate is decorated with heavy gold gilding that is in excellent condition. The tab handles feature a floral design in raised gold on a white background. French factory artist, De Nerval, has signed the plate. The plate measures 9 ½" in diameter and is double marked. It displays the Coiffe factory underglaze white ware mark in green, circa 1891-1914. The overglaze decorating mark of Lazeyras, Rosenfeld & Lehman also appears on the back of the plate. This outstanding piece is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or restoration. |
