[QUOTE="JB Miller, post: 10247313, member: 2476"]The only info I could find about Limoges UNIC is through snippet views on Google Books. There are mentions of them as early as the mid-1950's and as late as 2014. They seemed to have been a retailer of crystal and porcelain by various European makers. Your stamp then appears to be a retailer's mark and has nothing to do with who made it. Replacements only lists four patterns by them, only one has a name. So your items likely don't have a pattern name and if there aren't any other marks you might never determine who actually made it. --After doing some further research it appears Limoges UNIC might be related to the former Bawo Dotter/Guerin/Pouyat/Elite merger that went out of business in 1932. It looks like a family named Madronet opened Limoges UNIC in 1932. Their mark looks similar to the former Elite Works mark. Still can't find info about UNIC other than they were a retailer.
