Info about small limoges pieces
In the same box from my grandparents (see the lovely statuette picture
in a recent post) I found a few small limoges pieces: http://www.sc3.net/limoges.htm You can see the size from my fingers in the pictures, the blue pitcher is 2.5" tall, the red pitcher is 2" tall. What would these be called? Miniature tea sets or something? Is it possible my grandparents traveled to France, or are these the kinds of pieces one can pick up in the US as well? The painting on the bottom of the red set is pretty sloppy, is it possible it's a ripoff? Thanks, Chris |

Thanks, Chris 000000000000000000000000 Hey Chris, That's a transfer on the red set, as opposed to hand painting. Look it up. It's easy. No, it's not a ripoff. That's the way it was sold. It wasn't stuff for the super rich. Did they go to France. Maybe not. The USA is full of that stuff. Miniature tea set? Works for me. You can date them by the use of the word "France" as opposed to "Made in France". Look it up. The blue set is much better. Best Wishes, T. |

If you want to see a full set like your blue one (or maybe a "marriage" set), go to eBay # 260473437416 It's a closed auction, so you'll have to sign in to view it. The blue set has absolutely no wear on the bottom; that seems odd for an item intended as a toy. Kris |
