Handpainted T & V Tray, Austria Cider Pitcher, c 1900

This c 1900 porcelain set includes a Tressemanes & Vogt (Limoges) 11 3/8" hand painted tray and matching 6" (high) cider pitcher, both in mint condition. The tray has the green T & V underglaze mark (used 1892-1917) and the pitcher has the green Vienna Austria underglaze mark used c. 1900 (see pictures 5 and 6). The set was obviously painted by the same artist but is unsigned. The tray is the large T & V flat tray with small rim that was painted by a number of artists at the time. The cider (also called lemonade) pitcher is 4" wide across from side to side at the mouth and 5 1/2" wide front to back at the mouth to the lip and holds 1 quart comfortably. See Pictures 2 and 3 for front and back views. The set is primarily a green floral design, with some light blue; a touch of yellow, brown, and light orange; and a touch of lavender and purple. Priced significantly under the $500 estimated value and includes insured US shipping.
