    Hey folks! Happy Friday :)

    Another thrift store find, but not sure what they actually are. They were really cheap and quite pretty so I had to get them. Now wondering what are these things used for. Can you tell how old they are?
    Small bottle with stopper is approx. 13 cm (5 inches) high and the lidded bowl is about 9 cm (3.5 inches) in height.
    One of the Limoges marks is impressed.

    Thank you so much!
    Erik

    Probably part of a dressing table set.

    Seconded. There would have been at least one more bottle, maybe a hair receiver, and likely a tray too.

    In the 1980s, we owned an architectural hardware store and carried Baldwin Brass. Baldwin did a hardware and gift line that included Limoges imports and this same Limoges pattern was one of several. There were ashtrays, backplates, knobs, etc, though not your dresser items. I believe they came from the same factory.

    I agree with @ascot - 1980's - 1990's.

    you are right. they still exist.
    but some rumour has it that it's only re-packed in France and made elsewhere. too cheaply made and impossible to manufacture in France for these prices.
