<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 9494859, member: 308&quot;]JMHO - I collect Limoges and my first rule is that a piece is not Limoges unless it&#039;s marked Limoges. Unmarked Limoges would be very rare. Regardless, your bowl looks more German or Austrian to me than French judging by the mold work and the decoration. I&#039;d date it between WWI and WWII. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since it&#039;s a learning piece I will share my experience with bowls. Most dealers in my area (Midwest, USA) are avoiding bowls. The exceptions are Limoges, some English manufacturers and USA manufacturers, and possibly Noritake. The best selling bowls are serving pieces from established dinnerware lines. Decorative bowls (with the exception of RS Prussia) that are not part of an established dinnerware lines are difficult to sell. That includes most unmarked bowls and Austrian and German bowls among others. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are exceptions, of course. Decorative bowls that can stand on their exceptional artistic merits will often find a buyer. But today&#039;s minimalist decorating trends don&#039;t allow much room for most decorative bowls. I don&#039;t mean to disrespect your bowl. It&#039;s quite lovely, it&#039;s just not on trend at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
