Item Description: FABULOUS!!!! This is a RARE gorgeous antique W.G. and Co. Limoges porcelain handled candy tray with beautiful purple orchids and ferns. It ishand apinted and signed by the artist on the back, "L.B.B.". The talented artist also added raised enameling to the orchids for added artistic dimension.
This is one of my personal favorite molds! To serve treats to a guest you would simply put a forefinger through the loop and your thumb on the flower finial, it is so elegant and Victorian!!
It has a beautiful hand painted gilded finial with a flower on it and raised floral detail at either end of the Victorian dish's mold. The edge is gilded also. The gilding is 99% intact. It is marked with the William Guerin Mark 4 which dates it 1891 to 1932. Mary Gaston's "Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges" valued these trays at $275.00 to $325.00 (pg 142&143), in the year 2000.
