Antique T&V Limoges Art Nouveau Handled Bowl – Grape Motif

This exceptional antique Limoges handled bowl is a striking example of Art Nouveau design, featuring a rich grape motif rendered in heavy gold decoration. The bowl has an elegant eight-sided (faceted) form with fine, delicate handles, giving it architectural presence and refined balance.

Marked T&V Limoges France “Déposé” in green, this high-quality porcelain piece dates to the early 20th century and is over 100 years old. The bold gold decoration and refined form suggest the piece was decorated post-production, a common practice for luxury Limoges blanks.

Measuring approximately 7 inches long including the handles, this bowl makes a stunning cabinet or display piece and would be a standout addition to any Limoges, Art Nouveau, or antique porcelain collection.

Condition – Collector Notes:
This bowl is in very good antique condition. The gold decoration remains sharp, bold, and well preserved. There is one tiny fleabite on the interior corner of one handle, which may be a small glaze or gold loss or a shallow chip; it is very subtle and not immediately noticeable. There are also a couple of minor rubs to the gold at the handle corners, consistent with age and gentle handling. Close-up photographs of both handles from multiple angles have been provided for full transparency. No cracks or repairs noted.
