      A.L. Lanternier, Limoges, France. Possibly late 1800s.

      I have now solved the mystery, Alfred Lanternier from limoges worked for wedgewood as a buyer, he was the son of a small pottery owner Frederick Lanternier, he returned to limoges to go into business with his father which then became Lanternier &cie, This item is called a moonvase and was originally used by denby, he must have picked one up while working for wedgewood, i cant find anything french that is like this ,it was painted pre 1891 as it bares no france sign, i am presuming it was for his own keep as i cant find anything else ( ive scoured the internet) only one similar is a british blue and white denby piece in the met museum, thank you for the heads up and have thoroughly enjoyed recearching this vase.... hope you find this as interesting as i do .
