Up for offer/sale is a spectacular, investment-grade antique French Limoges porcelain cabinet piece, beautifully hand-painted and fully signed by the highly collectible master studio artist, RANCON.
This shallow bowl/plate features exceptionally deep, vibrant colorwork depicting heavy clusters of purple, blue, and golden-yellow grapes nestled among rich autumn-toned and green foliage, set against a masterfully blended pastel background wash. The face of the piece features a clear script signature from the artist, Rancon.
The border features a distinctly molded, heavily scalloped edge highlighted with intricate hand-applied gold gilt accents.
Historical Backstamps on Reverse:
1. Underglaze Factory Mark: Mavaleix, Mandavy & Balleroy (B M de M / B M ou M), who produced the fine porcelain blank in Limoges, France circa 1904-1908.
2. Overglaze Decorator Mark: The prominent green crown "CORONET FRANCE" decorating studio mark used by New York importer George Borgfeldt circa 1906-1920.
Dimensions:
9.25 inches
Condition:
Excellent antique condition. Absolutely no chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs. The hand-painted artistry remains extraordinarily vibrant with spectacular depth. There is only very minimal, faint age-appropriate wear to the heavy gold gilding on the rim, perfectly consistent with a carefully displayed estate cabinet piece.
