Bernardaud Limoges – Six small plates with basket decoration

Bernardaud Limoges – Six small plates with a floral basket design, circa 1900-1920 Elegant set of six small porcelain plates from Limoges, bearing the mark B & C° France, associated with the Bernardaud & Cie factory. The polychrome decoration features a fresh and delicate floral composition. At the center of each plate, a blue trellis basket holds a delicately arranged bouquet of pink roses, yellow and violet flowers. On the rim, several flower-filled baskets alternate with small isolated flowers, pansies, and roses accompanied by foliage. The soft palette, blending pink, mauve, yellow, and green, contrasts beautifully with the bright white of the porcelain. A fine golden line highlights the edge and completes this refined presentation. The gilding shows signs of wear, reflecting the history of these pieces. Their small size makes them particularly suitable for tea service, for presenting petits fours, biscuits, and mignardises, or for a delicate reception table. They can also create a lovely display for sweet treats at an afternoon tea. Limoges porcelain, Bernardaud & Cie. Early 20th century, circa 1900-1920. Dimensions: diameter 15.7 cm; height 2 cm. Set of six pieces.
