Limoges -- Limoges Berry Bowl |
|
Limoges is an area in the south of France known for its decorative
pieces because of the richness of kaolin in the soil’s clay. Take
this Art Nouveau berry bowl for example. It was produced by a company
named Coronet in the 1870's. These were typically given to brides
at the turn of the century. Always check for an insignia on the
bottom of the piece to ensure its authenticity.
