Bernardaud & Co. Limoges - Dinner set (39) - Porcelain

Very beautiful white Limoges porcelain dinner service, decorated around the edge with a royal blue frieze of arabesques and a garland of small spring flowers. The rim has a gently scalloped profile in the 18th-century style, with subtle raised motifs in the porcelain and a gold line. The handles are enhanced with fine gold, burnished with agate. These clean lines are reminiscent of the Art Deco period.
Each piece bears the stamp “B & Cie France” for Bernardaud, decorator at the Limoges Manufacture. Some pieces bear the stamp “Grand Dépôt Albert Piat - Alger”; this refers to the store in Algiers that distributed this service, or to the Limoges porcelain retailer in Algiers.
This design was also produced as a coffee service, tea service, and dessert service.
The Limoges Manufacture has been in existence since the 18th century and is renowned worldwide for its excellence. Over the years, it has succeeded in passing down its ancestral expertise.
