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>This handpainted pitcher from Elite stands 9.5 inches tall. It is decorated with a profusion of vivid blossoms that I believe are poppies. It is in excellent undamaged condition, with very minor wear to the gold. <p>I have many more photos of this item; if you would like any additional photos, just send me an email, and i will get them on their way.
