Limoges - R. Laporte - Platter - Porcelain

Beautiful antique Limoges porcelain dish, marked on the underside with R.L. Limoges France. The dish dates from circa 1890–1910 and was produced in Limoges, the famous French center for high-quality hard-paste porcelain.

The decoration depicts a atmospheric nature and hunting scene with partridges/quails and chicks in a landscape setting. The portrayal is richly worked with fine brushwork, warm browns, soft greens, and a deep dark-green background area. The composition is additionally signed in the scene.

The dish has an elegant oval shape with a scalloped edge, subtle relief details, and a gold-colored edge finish. The piece has the refined look that Limoges porcelain around the turn of the century was so beloved for: decorative, naturalistic and technically crafted. Supplied with the illustrated stand.
