Antique & Fine China Collectibles - Limoges Dinner Set - Green Fleur de Lis Mark

Hi Drew

I don't know this particular green fleur de lis 3 feathers Limoges mark, so if anyone else has any information please try to help with this one (check out the comments section below for replies).

I looked in my books but found nothing under 'shield' marks or Limoges that fitted this description. Maybe it's obvious and I missed it.

Best regards

Green Fleurs de Lis/ 3 feathers inside shield mark

Hi. I'm also interested in the mark. I have two sets with the backstamp. Are those three feathers or are they smaller fleur de lis? Would be grateful for any info. Thanks.

Green Fleurs de Lis Mark

Hi. Forgot to mention that the shield mark is very similar to the Elite mark -- having the three small fleur de lis at the top and rather the face of a man, a larger fleur de lis.

fleurs de lis shield/ limoges, france mark
by: Jack (jaapies-- ebay store)

From my humble and limited research and experience, I believe there are two back stamps involved. If anyone out there can correct me, please do!

The under glaze "LIMOGES FRANCE" appears to be part of the Wm Guerin Mark, and the over glaze fleurs de lis shield mark, is so similar to the Saint Martial mark used by Bawo and Dotter (Elite), that I believe it to be one of their's.

I have one set where most pieces have both these marks; and then, there are several other pieces in the same set that have the full Guerin mark under glaze, then, stamped over glaze with the shield mark. So...my view... as explained in my eBay listings, is that these are porcelain blanks made by Wm Guerin and decorated by Bawo and Dotter (start 1890's).

Guerin was around a long time before then, producing and decorating their own. Guerin merged with Jean Pouyat around 1911, who had it's own history-- both probably supplied B&D with blanks for decorating.

Bawo and Dotter took over Guerin around 1920-21 ... becoming Guerin/Pouyat/Elite. The Depression arrived; closing the company in 1932.

AGAIN... this is my understanding as humble as it is. Any addition, correction, or comment is welcome and encouraged.
