<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 211437, member: 308"]Hello Abegweit - what you have is a hobbyist painted piece. The dish does not resemble any Limoges blank I am familiar with. Limoges did indeed sell blanks to hobbyists to paint, but only those with a Limoges mark would be interesting to a Limoges collector. It is unlikely M. Bauld is a recognized artist. While the decoration is pretty it is not terribly distinctive from the many other hobbyist painted pieces. M. Bauld most likely was a housewife somewhere in your area. M. Bauld may have painted this 100 years ago or more so to find out who M. Bauld is you would have to check anyone with that surname going back that far. It would be helpful if the piece was dated. Finding out who M. Bauld is might be interesting but would not add any value to your bowl. Best to enjoy it for the pretty little piece that it is.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
