Description newportdog Store EARLY LIMOGE FISH SET-ARTIST SGND-FINEST ON EBAY EVER!! THIS LOVELY SET WAS BOUGHT IN NEWPORT R.I., IN WHAT THEY REFER TO AS, "OFF THE BLOCK". THIS TERM MEANS, BELLEVUE AVENUE, HOME OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS, VANDERBILTS, ASTORS, ETC. IT WAS A VERY HIGH END AUCTION AND I COULD NOT RESIST TO OWNING A PIECE OF WEALTHY HISTORY. THERE ARE 14 PIECES IN ALL. THERE WERE 12 PLATES, BUT I CAN ONLY FIND 11. I HAD THEM PACKED AWAY FOR SO LONG, ACTUALLY AFRAID TO USE THEM WITH MY SMALL GRANDCHILDREN AROUND. THE HANDPAINTED SERVING PLATES ARE SIGNED BY DUBOIS, WHO IS ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS ARTISTS FOR LIMOGE IN HIS TIME. THESE WERE MADE IN THE 1800S. EVERY PLATE IS TOTALLY PAINTED...THERE IS NO WHITE LEFT. THEY HAVE SUNSET HUES THAT ARE SO WELL DONE, EACH PLATE IS A PIECE OF ART. THERE ARE NO CHIPS, NO CRACKS, NO LINECRACKS OR DISCOLORATIONS; NOR ANY REPAIRS. THEY MEASURE A LARGE SIZE OF 9 1/2" IN DIAMETER AND EVERY SINGLE ONE IS DIFFERENT. HE SIGNS HIS NAME IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF ALL THE PLATES. THE MAIN PLATTER IS OVER 2 FOOT LONG AND 10 1/2" ACROSS, AND PROBABLY AN INCH DEEP IN THE MIDDLE. THE FISH IS GORGEOUS, AS ALL THE REST, VIVID, BRILLIANT AND NOT WORN OFF, LIKE SO MANY. BUT IT IS THE COLORS THAT BLOW YOU AWAY........THEY ARE TO DIE FOR. THE SAUCEBOAT IS LOVELY AS WELL WITH ITS UNDERPLATE. IT MEASURES 7 3/4" FROM SPOUT TO HANDLE AND IS VERY ELABORATE IN EVERY DETAIL. IT IS 4" ACROSS AND 3 TO 5 INCHES IN VARYING HEIGHTS. NO DETAIL WAS LEFT UNDONE. ALL ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO OBLIGE.  WE ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS AT NEWPTDOG@AOL.COM AND YOU MAY CALL IF YOU LIKE 631-803-0535. I GUARANTEE MY ITEM AS STATED, IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL; THERE ARE FISH SETS AND THERE ARE FISH SETS.......INCLUDED WITH A MAGNIFICENT FISH SET OF FORKS AND KNIVES IN PERFECT CONDITION BROUGHT BACK FROM IRELAND WITH SOLID HANDLES ALL EXC.
