Description

Stamped Limoges France on the bottom with the initials MNP (Manufacture Nouvelle de Porcelaine) It stands 7.5 inches tall put together and the base is 4.5 inches wide. No visible chips or cracks. There are few small discolorations. I am looking for a history of when and where this piece was made and an approximate value.

Based on the marking it post dates 1890, country of origin marking were not generally in use until 1891. Limoges, France was one of the largest centers of production for hand painted porcelain from the 1870's through to about World War One (1914). I don't have any information regarding the mark, but there were literally hundreds of potteries and decorator studios located in Limoges during that period.

Thanks Lovejoy. I have look all over the internet and have not been able to find any France Limoges scenes similar to the one depicted here. Is there a book or reference source that may name this pattern. Any idea of a range to sell a piece like this?

Thank you again.
