Item Description: Lively BEAUTY!!!! This is a RARE gorgeous antique W.G. and Co. Limoges porcelain handled candy tray with beautiful pink wild roses. The roses are enhanced with delicate raised enameling. This really makes them "POP" into life. There is a lovely array of background colors and near the edges there is an intricate gilded scrollwork. It is signed on the front to the left of the handle, on a leaf, in gold by the artist, "A.R.". This tray was designed to serve guests treats. You simply put your forefinger through the handle and put you thumb on the flowered finial and it is most easy and elegant. It has a beautiful hand painted gilded floral finial and raised floral detail at either end of the victorian dish's mold. The edges are gilded as well. The gilding shows some age wear. It is marked with the William Guerin mark 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.
