Description from the seller
Limoges porcelain vegetable dish, the edge surrounded by a 9 mm wide silver fillet, stamped with a Minerva hallmark. The decoration is Asian, with birds and butterflies..
Marked in green: Limoges PL France, with a round punch marked TF C'. It is a vegetable dish adorned with floral motifs and birds, typical of the Asian or japonisant style often reproduced by Limoges porcelain in the early 20th century. Mark "PL" struck:
This mark may correspond to a Limoges manufacturer or decorator. Several workshops or artists used initials to sign their pieces. Without more precise details about the exact shape of the punch, it is difficult to identify the workshop exactly, but "PL" is often associated with Limoges porcelain marks from the early 20th century.
Red mark "TF":
This type of red marking is often a decorator’s seal or a series marking. It may also indicate a particular decor or a limited edition. Red is a frequently used color for decorator marks.
Minerva hallmark on the silver:
You mention a silver edge with a Minerva mark. The Minerva mark is the official French hallmark attesting to the quality of silver (925 fine). This mark has been used since 1838 to certify the silver content of precious metal objects. Its presence on the silver edge of the dish confirms that this edge is solid silver of good quality.
In summary:
The dish is a Limoges porcelain piece hand-decorated, probably dating from the early 20th century (circa 1910–1920).
The mark "PL" is a workshop or artist signature from Limoges.
The red mark "TF" is a decorative or series marking.
This type of piece is typical of Limoges productions that mix fine porcelain with mounts in precious metal, often aimed at an affluent clientele.
