Hello, I am trying to find information on a set that I have which includes:
-Small plate with green R.C. CARMEN (Rosenthal) marking
– Bowl with green O.&E.G. ROYAL AUSTRIA marking & small ladle. They both have delicate details within the porcelain.
-Saucer with green T&V LIMOGES FRANCE marking, but also includes what appears to be the numbers 4047 underneath. I’ve done a lot of research but cannot find anything online about what those numbers mean (nothing similar even has numbers).
They are all signed, “Wollaston.”
They all have gold trim, and are painted powder blue and cream with blue “Forget Me Not” flowers.
I am trying to determine it’s worth and would love any information you all have. Thank you so very much!
What you have is a so-called [i]decorator marriage[/i]; items from multiple original makers were merged into a new ‘set’ by applying a matching decoration on all items. As with all re-decorated items this resets all former value related to the original makers.
While some decoration studios have a market of their own ([i]Pickard[/i], [i]Kuba[/i], etc.) smaller studio and hobbyists-decorated goods (as appears to be the case here) often only keep sentimental value as their products are one-off jobs which do not allow for replacements or additions.
[i]T&V[/i] had an internal coding system which in certain cases used customer/order codes that stated whom a certain lot was made for. There are no offiicial [i]T&V[/i] publications regarding these codes as far as I know.
