<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 10444470, member: 308"]I've been having a hard time with this one. The France part of the mark does look like Limoges (as Chinoiserie mentioned) but the rest of the mark looks like something Samson (or a similar decorating company) might have used. Regardless, I think this might be hobbyist painted. The art work isn't bad but the gold and the overall composition just doesn't look right for a piece decorated in France. I would also expect the signature to be somewhere within the art work rather than on the bottom. I'm sorry I can't provide any definitive answer but this piece is a bit of a puzzle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
