This beautiful little butter/trinket gold accented porcelain dish with a Victorian romantic couple scene is marked F.M Limoges France (Fontanille & Marraud) on the back and signed "Fragonard" on the front.
Fontanille & Marraud was a French porcelain and pottery manufacturing company located in Limoges, France. The company was known for producing high-quality porcelain and ceramics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Fragonard is the signature of French Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806). Jean-Honoré Fragonard's paintings were celebrated for their romantic and sentimental themes, as well as their intricate details and pastel color palettes. His work captured the essence of the Rococo period, which emphasized elegance, luxury, and ornamentation.
This little trinket dish is in excellent vintage condition (no chips or cracks). Comes with the plate stand.
NOTE: The stand was on the item when we acquired it. We did not attempt to remove it for fear of damaging the plate. Therefore, we do not have any pictures without the stand.
Approximate Measurements:
Diameter: 3.5 in / 9 cm
