Antique Limoges La Cloche Trio Set – 9 Trios + Extra Plates & Saucer, France c.1900
A rare service of nine complete Limoges “La Cloche” trios, notable for its cobalt ground and gilt trim.
This antique set of nine Limoges “La Cloche” trios (Tressemanes & Vogt, France, c.1900–1920) represents a distinguished example of early 20th-century French porcelain. Each trio consists of a luncheon plate, saucer, and cup, all decorated with a radiant turquoise-cobalt ground, delicate multicolor floral sprays, and hand-applied gilt rims and handles.
Originally produced for the American export market, “La Cloche” porcelain is less commonly found in matched trios, making this grouping especially appealing to collectors. The set also includes three additional luncheon plates and one extra saucer, useful as replacements or for display.
