This Limoges box, made ca. 1850, has the looks, the style, the decoration and the size for those who appreciate fine porcelain. The mark is that of Bawo and Dotter, according to every book written. While some Limoges was not signed at all, this has every characteristic for Bawo and Dotter, including the green FRANCE which they are responsible for.

Please note, and see the hairline crack on the left side of the box. Can it be "repaired"? Yes, would I? No. There is no issue with its function, nor it's appearance unless you look for it. Opening and closing the box has no difficulty, nor problem with the storage of anything. It's over 170 years old, and works just fine, looks just as beautiful, and holds the treasures that you cherish the most.

Measurements: 6+ inches wide, 5+ inches front to back, and stands proudly at 3 3/4 inch high.

Bawo & Dotter was a New York company established in 1860s to import porcelain mainly from Limoges. In 1870s they established in Limoges a porcelain decorating manufactory called The Elite Works.

In 1896 the manufacture began producing own porcelain. Production lasted till 1914 when World War I began and was resumed after the war ended.

Next significant changes came in 1924. Bawo and Dotter took over the William Guerin's company and merged it with the previously acquired by W. Guerin factory Pouyat Porcelaines in one company: Guérin-Pouyat-Elite Limited. The firm continued production till 1932.

Notes: very good for it's age, and use

Consistent with age and use.
