The firm of Bawo & Dotter was established in New York City in the 1860s to import porcelain, especially Limoges, into the USA. In the early 1870s, they established The Elite Works in Limoges to decorate porcelain made by other factories. Their product lines included tableware, decorative pieces, and trinket boxes. <p>Porcelain production slowed down considerably during World War I, but shortly after the war, Bawo & Dotter bought the William Guerin company (which had itself just purchased the Pouyat company), and the company became known as Guerin-Pouyat-Elite, apparently continuing use of all three company marks. The company closed in 1932. <p>The marks on this exquisite piece date it back to the period between 1896 and 1920. The pot stands nine inches tall, and is handpainted with deep pink roses with gold accents. The shape is unusual and the detail is exceptional, with quite a bit of embossing and delicate gold trim. It is in excellent undamaged condition.
