A Limoges cabinet plate, made in France, hand painted at the centre with two hummingbirds among orchids on a soft yellow-green ground, framed by a deep cobalt blue border worked all over in fine gold lace, with a gilded rim. A decorative plate for a stand or a wall.
Limoges has been the centre of French porcelain since the 18th century, and the cobalt-and-gold cabinet plate with a hand-painted centre is the house’s most decorative form — the border gilding alone is slow, skilled work.
