Art Nouveau Toilet set (4) - William Guérin-Gérard

A toilet set consisting of 3 perfume bottles and a powder dish in excellent (read: near mint) condition from the firm William Guérin & co or GDa in Limoges, which played a crucial role in the porcelain industry by producing and selling white goods (white porcelain) to major names such as Limoges, Sèvres, Porcelaine de Paris, who did further finishing in their ateliers. Here the Limoges stamp or others were applied together with the decoration. A large portion of the porcelain was also outsourced to local painters. The inscription France in green block letters (without ‘made in France’) indicates a production period of 1891–1914. The green color (France under glaze) refers to the Limoges factory. The inscription decor main refers to a local artist; only a Limoges stamp still had to be applied. The finish of this set in dark red and turquoise with gold rims, together with a peony, reflects the high quality. The dimensions are: perfume bottles 14 cm high / 6 cm and 12 / 5.5 cm and 10 / 4.5 cm; the powder dish is 9 cm high / 8 cm. Shipped safely and insured via B post.
