Limoges GDA France Dessert Set, Set of 5, from the Early 20th Century
Gorgeous Limoges GDA, Gerard, Dufraisseix and Abbot, France, dessert set.
The pieces are all marked with two marks. The first mark is in green, which is the underglaze white ware mark, which is noted as follows:
Mark #1:Gerard, Defraisseix and Abbot GDA - France is in green and is the underglaze white ware mark in green and is circa 1900 to 1941.
The second mark is the decorating mark in red and is noted as follows:
Mark #4:GDA - Limoges with a wreath and is the overglaze decorating mark, which is done in red or green an is after 1941 to present.
You can find these marks, which we did in our reference books, on page 187 in the Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges.
The dessert bowl measures 9 5/8" from handle to handle and the plates measure 8 1/2" in diameter.
This gorgeous set is just stunning with beautiful white porcelain ground with a floral and blue ribbon border with gold gild above and below the floral design. The back has the same floral and ribbon border near the top, this is only done on the dessert bowl.
This beautiful set is in stunning condition. We have included a 6th plate, as there is a minor chip to the rim.
A wonderful set for any gathering. A great addition for any Limoges or porcelain collector!
