Tiffany & Co Elaborate Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain Table Setting, circa 1880
Tiffany & Co. Exquisite hand-painted museum-quality porcelain dinner service dating back to circa 1890. This stunning set features a theme inspired by exotic birds found in an imaginary dreamlike wetland setting. The set comprises 12 beautifully adorned (consists of 12 plates and one large oval serving dish), all of which are in good condition.
Out of the 12 plates, 10 bear the Tiffany and Co mark alongside the Limoges mark for G.D. and C. Limoges, a renowned company operating in France from 1886 to 1906, as documented by Kovels.
The large serving tray carries the G.D. and C. mark in green, accompanied by the words "France" and "Limoges." Additionally, it boasts an English Registry mark, though the Tiffany mark is absent. While it's plausible that the family acquired additional pieces over the years, it remains speculative.
Each piece in this extraordinary set exhibits uniformity in quality, exquisite painting, and meticulous execution. The overall condition of the dinner service is exceptionally fine, preserving the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
