Object Description
Porcelain vase with handle and in shape of pitcher. Hand painted with berries, flowers and butterfly design overall and painted blue at base. Stamped on bottom of vase, "T&V France" Marks on Limoges pieces are not from a particular studio that was located in Limoges. There were many studios in the region of Limoges making porcelain. The word Limoges stands for the region where these ceramics were produced by many different factories. Some of the markings on pieces of Limoges porcelain are standard marks used by many firms and studios. Some Limoges porcelains carry a designation from the French government for quality. For instance, Haviland & Company, Bernardaud, Tressemann & Vogt (marked T & V) were all successful companies working in Limoges.
