Title: Old Limoges French Ash/Cigarette Tray - Pottery or China?
Post by: wbfounts on June 09, 2009, 12:45:52 PM

This is a piece I just purchased for 10 dollars at the local consignment shop. I can't see through it but it is a very dark so I am not sure if it is fine China or not.

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the pattern or when it was made. The back says Limoges France and has a Circle with a cursive "D" inside.

The design pictures below is of a man and a woman with some trees and flowers in the middle and the outside is decorated by 12 or 13 Flordalees.
