Cannot find another one like it.  I have searched for weeks and I have learned everything there is to know about Limoges, but I cannot find this backstamp anywhere to find it's age, artist, pattern.  I may have to sell it and it would be nice to know it's approx. value.

 All the info I have I inserted in the above fields

Thank you very much, I appreciate any help you can give me :)

History
I believe it came to US with my Aunt after she married. She was a war bride and I was told this was a wedding gift. They were forced out of their home and the soldiers got most all their things. What they hid, they brought here before the German soldiers took over their home.
