Charming antique pitcher in Limoges porcelain, dating from the early 20th century, around 1900–1920. With a slender and ribbed shape, it features an elegant scalloped opening and a slightly wavy base. The upper part is adorned with a delicate garland of roses in shades of pink, old rose, and orange, accompanied by soft green foliage. The scalloped edge and handle are enhanced with gilding. Green mark "LIMOGES FRANCE" under the base. Approximate dimensions: height 14 cm, opening 8 cm. Condition consistent with its age: there is an old crack on the upper part of the body and pronounced wear to the gilding, particularly on the handle and neck. These elements are visible in the photographs and have been taken into account in the price. A lovely piece of antique French porcelain, ideal for decoration, in a collection of Limoges porcelain, or to hold a small bouquet of dried flowers. This pitcher belongs to a set for which I also have the matching cups and saucers, featuring the same rose decoration and gilded finish. These are offered separately. Acquiring both lots allows for the reconstitution of a very beautiful coordinated antique set. See the last photo of the whole.
