<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 11277779, member: 91417&quot;]So far, I have found three different signatures on my inherited Limoges plates.&nbsp; Antiquers was very helpful about information on Elizabeth Stoner.&nbsp; Arnold Rhodes seems to be fairly well-documented.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>But I have found no information about “J. Marsay” except s/he seems to be a prolific china painter on Limoges porcelain,</b> with many items selling or sold online.&nbsp; <b>Does anyone know his/her first name and any other information? French painter or painting elsewhere on blanks?&nbsp; Specific or several design studios?</b>&nbsp; My plate is a painting of peaches, signed “J. Marsay,” with Blakeman &amp; Henderson’s Limoges B&amp;H France circle mark (I have seen the mark dated as c. 1890 &amp; as early 1900s with no definite<i> terminus ante quem.</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read that B&amp;H were primarily exporters (American firm operating in Limoges), but also that they decorated hand painted Limoges porcelain (presumably the firm hired the designers). <b>Did B&amp;H hire the painters or have its own studio,</b> or is this an extrapolation by sellers based on the quantity of B&amp;H hand painted ware—including those by J. Marsay<b>?</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]540074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]540081[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
