A very elegant pair of pedestal Limoges porcelain compotiers, dating from circa 1930. Their flared pedestal and clean, balanced lines are characteristic of the interwar period, a time marked by geometric and understated design. The decoration is equally restrained, highlighting the purity of Limoges white porcelain, enhanced only by fine hand‑applied gilding.
These serving pieces were traditionally used to present fruit, petits fours or biscuits during receptions. Thanks to their timeless colour and refined silhouette, they will pair beautifully with any of your tea, coffee or dessert services.
A lovely temptation for your table.

A few words of historical information about Limoges porcelain
Porcelain was first produced in Limoges in 1771. King Louis XV made this factory a royal manufactory.
After the Revolution, François Alluaud, owner of a factory, was the pioneer of the industrial development of porcelain in Limoges. He innovated and improved the manufacturing processes.
At the beginning of the 19th century, factories flourished in the city, and Limoges porcelain became increasingly renowned in Europe. With the arrival of the New Yorker David Haviland in Limoges in 1842, the history of porcelain took a new turn. Under his influence Limoges porcelain began to be exported across the Atlantic. The Americans spent lavishly on the delicate and elegant pieces they adore. Haviland also promoted porcelain in Second Empire Paris, where it was a great success.
Today, Limoges porcelain is the symbol of excellence of the great French craft houses, such as Haviland, or Bernardaud.
