Table service (23) - Softpaste porcelain - Limoges

Complete Limoges porcelain dinner service with gilding, mid-20th century

Description :
Complete dinner service in authentic Limoges porcelain, dating from the first half of the 20th century (late Art Deco period or mid-20th century, between the 1930s and 1950s).
This neoclassical, bourgeois-inspired service stands out for its timeless refinement, combining traditionally curved shapes with an elegant gold frieze on the rims (blending Kashmir-style motifs and lace) and delicate sprigs of fine gold flowers dispersed across the entire bodies of the pieces. The green backstamp on the porcelain attests to its origin and the nobility of its craftsmanship.

Composition of the service (23 pieces) :
- 12 flat plates (24 cm)
- 5 small plates (22 cm)
- 1 vegetable dish (28 cm × 14 cm)
- 1 large oval platter (26 × 26 cm)
- 1 large circular platter (29.8 cm)
- 1 large hollow circular platter (29.5 cm)
- 1 salad bowl (25 × 9 cm)
- 1 small circular dish on foot (22 × 4.8 cm)

Condition:
The porcelain retains all of its shine.
The gilding shows signs of wear on several pieces (use marks) in places (see the last two photos).
