Up for sale is a breathtaking piece of late Victorian / Edwardian history. This antique fine porcelain double-handled celery tray or serving platter was crafted in Limoges, France by the prestigious Tressemanes & Vogt (T&V) factory. Based on the authentic green factory backstamp on the underside, this piece dates precisely between 1892 and 1907.The dish is masterfully hand-painted with a vibrant cluster of yellow, cream, and soft peach roses on cascading thorny stems set against a soft, multi-toned pastel background. The organic, scalloped edges and integrated open side handles are heavily trimmed in rich, brushed 24k gold gilding that catches the light beautifully. In addition to the green factory backstamp, the underside base features an authentic hand-incised script artist initial/flourish signature and an incised circular mold size mark pressed directly into the raw clay prior to firing—a highly desirable feature for serious porcelain collectors looking for authentic, studio-decorated French history. **Measurements:**
* Oval Length: Approximately 11 to 12 inches (handle to handle)**Condition:**
Excellent antique condition! The fine porcelain body is structurally pristine with no chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or crazing. The hand-painted floral graphics remain incredibly sharp, vibrant, and free of scratches. The heavy gold gilt trim shows only minimal, minor age-appropriate surface rub wear along the outer high points of the scalloped rims. The underside exhibits normal minor shelf dust/age coloration on the unglazed ring base. Please see all photos to fully appreciate the outstanding condition of this piece.
