A partial antique porcelain tea or coffee set, likely from Limoges, France, dating to the 1920s

Limoges porcelain is known for its hard-paste porcelain produced by factories in and around the city of Limoges, France, beginning in the late 18th century. The region's abundance of kaolin, essential for porcelain production, led to its prominence in the industry. Limoges became a center for porcelain manufacturing, with numerous factories producing high-quality tableware and decorative items.

F. Legrand & Cie was one of the many firms operating in Limoges during the early 20th century. These companies often produced elegant and ornate designs, reflecting the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles of the period. The geometric patterns and refined details seen on this set are characteristic of Limoges porcelain from the 1920s. Sets like these were popular among affluent households and are now sought after by collectors.

 The estimate value of this partial Limoges tea/coffee set is approximately R2,600.00.
