Vintage Limoges France Celadon Porcelain Art Deco Style Tureen With Floral Decoration

A charming oval tureen in Limoges porcelain, France, stamped with a crowned coat of arms and the mark "Authentique." The celadon glaze is colored throughout. This "Orient" pattern, in an Art Deco style, dates from the 1960s-1980s. The soft, aquamarine hue is uncommon in Limoges porcelain. It features a flattened oval body, slightly geometric side handles, and a domed lid topped with a modernized rectangular finial. The floral decoration is rendered in polychrome transfers in a lovely, romantic pink, green, and white palette, enhanced with a gold rim and finials. This piece is the work of a decorator working behind the stamp frequently used by independent decorating workshops working from the forms of fine Limoges porcelain. A rare find, especially in this celadon color. Approximately 30 cm in total length, 22 cm in width, and 15 cm in height with the lid. Very good overall condition, glossy porcelain without chips or cracks, decoration intact, a few fine scratches from use and very slight imperfections in the gilding, discreet overall. Approximately 1.8-2 kg.
