Limoges Courting Couple Cobalt Blue & Gold Trinket Boxes/Ashtray

By D2M, 4 December, 2014
Description

Blue and Gold trinket boxes with a courting couple.  The round box and ashtray have a Limoges La Seynie F mark on the bottom.  The Square & rectangle boxes have Limoges on the bottom.  I saw the round box and the ashtray on justantiques.com with the same markings estimated at a crazy amount.  Overall, all the pieces are in very good condition.  The ashtray has a little wear by one of the flat gold areas.  I would like to know if anybody has any info on these items.  Thanks!
