A month ago, Sergio bought this tray for US$20 from Dorita Ferrari. It measures 40 cm long and is from around 1930. I make this statement because of the brand on the back, it is the one used by Raynaud and Cie de Limoges when the Limoges Unique brand was created, since due to the great crisis there were many fake ones. In the last photo, it can be seen that Raynaud registered several marks within the union and one corresponds to the swan and the words Limoges France, without the Raynaud, as he will take it later. The "Limoges Unique" mark was created in 1929 by the union of the Limoges porcelain manufacturers as a label to certify genuine Limoges porcelain.
Please open the pictures to observe the different decoration techniques; there is a gray background that seems to have been done by hand after decoration, since some white spaces can be seen in the flowers. The rococo border has lines done in gilt that highlight the underlying decoration of scrolls and flowers. Undoubtedly, a print or tracing in gray of different bouquets of flowers was made, some real transfers but all of them later painted by hand on top, including the insects present (butterflies and two bugs) and birds, this is clear in the violet chrysanthemum that has hidden a bird that is in the center of the flower…. Then there are several lines in relief in white and in different colors…
Gorgeous Limoges tray, the floral design is exceptionally beautiful
