Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain Plate Poppies Daisies Signed J Vigneron 1915, Tressemann Vogt Art Nouveau Floral Charger 11.2"
Step
into the golden age of French porcelain with this breathtaking antique
hand-painted charger plate from the legendary Limoges manufacture.
Crafted from translucent white porcelain by Tressemann & Vogt
(T&V) and dated 1915, this magnificent piece is an original artwork
signed by the artist J. Vigneron. Capturing the vibrant, naturalistic
essence of late Art Nouveau floral art, it features a masterful
composition of wild poppies, daisies, and delicate cornflowers.
Measuring
a generous 11.2" (28.5 cm) in diameter and weighing 1.6 lbs (730 g),
this flat cabinet plate serves as a stunning canvas. The artist, J.
Vigneron, painted a dense, cascading bouquet on a beautifully shaded
pastel background of cream, soft lavender, and earthy tones. The
foreground showcases a bold, crimson-red open poppy (coquelicot) and a
cluster of delicate white daisies (marguerites) with bright yellow
centers, balanced by deep blue-violet cornflowers.
The plate
features an elegant, subtle gilt gold rim that beautifully frames the
artwork. The artist's signature and date, "J. VIGNERON, 1915", are
clearly painted in the lower right corner. The reverse side bears the
authentic green underglaze stamp "T&V LIMOGES FRANCE" (Tressemann
& Vogt), dating the porcelain blank to the early 20th century.
