900's circa
Hand Painted
Blackberries and Blossoms
on large punch bowl with all phases of
colors depicting the ripening cycle of black berries.
The pink blossoms blend in with the teal over a buttery colored base on this rare
ceramic art delight.
The diameter of the main bowl
is just over 13" and it's height 6
1/2
"
The green pottery mark, "
T&V LIMOGES FRANCE
" located on the bottom of main bowl
indicates Tressemann & Vogt's date of around 1900 when this piece was uniquely created.
The six accompanying cups in precisely the same
Blackberry theme has the dark "D&C" (Delineres & Co.) mark that notates the same time reference of creation.
One may speculate that the two companies formed
an alliance on some productions.
The cups measure approximately 4" wide at top
and 2
1/2
" tall.
All seven pieces are moderately pedestaled to emphasize the main bowls and their exquisite features.
Though very minor wear is detected on any; all have no cracks, chips etc... they are in very good condition and especially in relation to their age and possible usage.
