Lot 51: A Collection of La Reine Limoges Fragonard Style Courting Couple Porcelain Items
This collection of decorative French porcelain by La Reine Limoges features a deep forest green glaze with heavy 22k gold-gilt foliate and floral borders. Each piece is decorated with a central transfer-printed vignette depicting a romantic courting couple in 18th-century dress, executed in the style of Jean-Honoré Fragonard. One vignette includes a printed fragonard signature. The group includes multiple circular lidded trinket boxes of varying sizes, some raised on tripod gilded feet, a small creamer or pitcher with a high scrolled handle, and a small vase with a scalloped rim and tripod feet. Matching saucers and cups are also present in the assortment. A black circular factory mark is visible on the body of the items, consisting of a central crown symbol surrounded by the text La Reine, LIMOGES FRANCE, and 22k GOLD.
Condition report:
The collection is in generally good condition. There is evidence of light surface wear and minor rubbing to the gilded highlights on the rims, handles, and feet, consistent with age and domestic use. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are visible upon inspection.
