Antique Limoges Elite Works “Bridal Wreath” Fine China Set

Item: Antique Limoges Elite Works “Bridal Wreath” Fine China Set
Date of Origin: Circa 1932
Origin: Limoges, France (Elite Works, Bawo & Dotter export line)
Total Pieces: 91
Pattern: “Bridal Wreath” – features delicate pink floral garlands and gold trim on scalloped porcelain

Description:

This is a substantial 91-piece antique porcelain dinnerware set produced by Elite Works of Limoges, France, renowned for their high-quality porcelain exported largely to the American market. The pattern, commonly referred to as “Bridal Wreath,” includes clusters of small pink roses arranged in wreath formations with ornate gold detailing and scalloped edges.

This particular set is notable not only for its size and excellent condition but also because most of the pieces bear the Elite Works Limoges France hallmark. A few pieces are marked as Czechoslovakia-made copies, likely replacements or additions made in the mid-20th century when pattern-matching was common.

  • 12 Ă— 10” Dinner Plates
  • 11 Ă— 6½” Saucers
  • 5 Ă— 6” Soup Bowls
  • 11 Ă— 5” Dessert Dishes
  • 12 Ă— 7½” Salad or Side Plates
  • 12 Ă— Cup & Saucer Sets (including the 11 saucers above)
  • 3 Ă— Covered Serving Dishes (various sizes)
  • 3 Ă— Oval Serving Dishes (various sizes)

  • 1 Ă— Salt & Pepper Set
  • 1 Ă— Sauce Dish with Underplate
  • 6 Ă— Czech-made saucers
  • 1 Ă— Czech-made covered serving dish

Condition:

  • Overall Condition: Excellent
  • Wear: Minimal, with only light utensil marks and one or two bowls showing age-related discoloration.
  • Trim & Design: Gold accents intact, vibrant floral design preserved

Valuation Summary:

Market Type

Estimated Value

Retail (e.g., Replacements Ltd., Chairish)

$1,500 – $2,200+

Private Sale / Estate Sale

$800 – $1,200

Insurance Replacement Value

$2,500+

 

Factors Influencing Value:

  • Completeness: Large, near-complete sets are more valuable and harder to find.
  • Pattern Demand: “Bridal Wreath” is a highly sought-after floral pattern among Limoges collectors.
  • Condition: This set is in unusually good condition for its age.
  • Inclusion of Original Marks: Majority are marked Limoges, increasing value; Czech replacements slightly reduce set cohesion but are common in vintage sets.

Recommendation:

If you are selling:

  • Consider consignment through reputable antique china dealers or vintage platforms like Ruby Lane, Etsy (vintage section), or eBay for global exposure.
  • You may also sell individual pieces to buyers seeking replacements.

If you are insuring:

  • Insure for $2,500–$3,000 as a replacement value based on current market comparables.
