Signed by the famous professional French art studio artist: Duval, whose masterful china paintings are prominently featured in all modern day collectors reference books regarding collecting antique Limoges porcelain.

Noted artist Duval presents us here with a very symmetrically sweet pansy painting. With tendrils of stems and buds bowing to each other in the center and wandering around the golden edge of this dear plate, we can't help but think of a Springtime day in a Victorian garden, where every bloom held special coded meaning. The three lavender and lemon yellow blossoms with their royal purple centers look as if they are dancers in a water ballet, holding green leaflet hands and swirling back and forth in a lovely 19th Century afternoon dance. A very sweet plate and artful composition which will cheer any decor.

Excellent condition, sterling quality vintage French porcelain with the china painting very well preserved within its lustrous glass over glaze finish.
