Limoges -- Bridal Roses |
|
Beautiful, antique china has become extremely desirable for the
serious collector. But it’s not necessarily a sport of kings, according
to my friend Hunter Williamson. He specializes in 19th century creamware,
china and ironstone. He also sources for his clients antique French
china pieces, many from the Limoges region of France. Some are rather
pricey, others very affordable.
Take this piece for example. It most often goes by the name of Bridal
Wreath, sometimes Bridal Rose. Pieces of this pattern were mass-produced
by a company named Bowa & Dotter between the 1880's and the early
1990's in Limoges, France. Entire sets were made of the Bridal pattern,
many of which are still widely available and very reasonably priced.
