TWO LIMOGE DISHES, 60+ YRS OLD
« on: September 06, 2010, 02:39:58 pm »
This pair of dishes, about 6" across, has been packed in a box for at least 60 years.  They have individual flower with stem paintings circling the outer edge, like numbers on a clock.  They have both the Limoge/France marks.  Can someone place a value on them?  Thanks.  Linda

The distinctive star mark was used by the Coiffe factory c1891-1914 , the L.S.&S  (Lewis Straus & Sons) was an American exporting firm based in New York which exported porcelain from Austria & Limoges. The blue mark (L.S.& S. Limoges double circle with France under) is believed to indicate a non-exclusive decoration for the company. The gold sponged work on borders is very worn value for both around $10.00.
