Antique Turn of the Century T&V Limoges Gold Gilt Vase. This is a gorgeous hand painted Limoges vase with gold gilt around the base and the rim. Roses surround the body of the vase. It is signed by the artist, Rousset (a Limoges artist) in a leaf on the lower third of the vase (see photograph). It measures 15''H x 5''W at base x 7.5''W at widest diameter. It has some normal wear for age; there are some very fine lines of wear on the shoulder of one side, as shown in the photographs. The gold gilt and overall finish is in good condition. The large vase was molded. The vase was brought from New York to New Mexico at the turn of the century by Dr. Herbert Boyd Matsen. Matsen had come to Albuquerque in the late 1890s. When his wife died in 1902, he purchased the Dorsey mansion outside of Chico Springs, N.M. It was a Gothic Victorian palace built by the infamous and controversial carpetbagging U S Senator from Arkansas, Stephen W. Dorsey. Matsen turned it into a sanitorium, the ''Chico Springs Sanitorium Company.'' The vase was inheirited by the current owner. A partial printed copy of the booklet, ''Rogue!'' is included. The booklet discusses the history of the Dorsey mansion including the acquistion of it by Dr. Matsen. There are also a few pages of information printed out from the current owner's website and from Wikipedia. According to the website: http://e-limoges.com/makers/tressemanes-vogt-limoges.php, the marks on the bottom of this vase indicate it was made between 1892-1919. Gustave Vogt (1849-1937) took over the Limoges branch by 1870 and partnered with Emilien Tressemanes in the early 1880's. In 1891 they bought two small porcelain factories in Faubourg Montjovis (Limoges) and made high quality whiteware for export to the USA. The company was commissioned in 1891 to produce a dinner service for President Harrison. Tressemann retired in 1907 and Gustave Vogt became sole owner and changed the name to Porcelaine Gustave Vogt. In 1919 Martial Reynaud bought the company and continued using the T&V mark as well as his own Reynaud mark. Reynaud porcelain remains in business today. There is also a purple decoration mark banner with ''Hand Painted'' plus the bell. The green porcelain mark of T & V in a rectangle with ''Limoges France'' beneath it dates from 1892-1907. It is the Tressemann and Vogt Limoges France Mark 10.
