Here is an elegant and sophisticated T&V Limoges Tray. The subject matter is very patriotic, and historical ? a fabulous Americana piece. It is of George and Martha Washington ? the first President and the First Lady of the United States of America. Their portraits are on either side with their home, Mt. Vernon, between them at the bottom. It reads Washington?s Home Mt. Vernon, VA. The detail is very fine and the colors are naturalistic and soothing. The tray is finished off nicely with a gold gilt edge. It is marked on the back T&V Limoges France in green. This same mark can be found on pg 293 of the Collector?s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain Third Edition which reads ?underglaze white ware mark in green, initials with ?Limoges, France,? ca. 1892 ? 1907, probably latter part of period.? It is in very good condition with the expected slight wear to the gold gilt rim especially on the right lower corner. There are also a very few (and I mean very very few) little scratches that aren?t noticeable in the least unless you are examining this piece as intently as I am. I absolutely love this piece! The subject matter alone is dear to my heart as it would be to any patriotic American. It measures a perfect 8? high x 11? wide.
Striving For Excellence
It isn?t brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
