This is a beautiful antique Limoges porcelain soup tureen with a matching lid, pink floral decoration, and gold accents. The shaped rectangular bowl has ornate side handles and a raised lid handle, with a ladle opening at one end. The base bears the CFH/GDM maker’s mark and an impressed 2. Made in France, circa 1881–1890.
Approx. Size: Overall 14" L including handles × 7.75" W including lid × 7" H. Bowl rim 11" L × 7" W, with a 4.25" bowl height without the lid.
The CFH/GDM mark links this piece to Charles Field Haviland and the Gérard, Dufraisseix & Morel porcelain works in Limoges. This combined mark belongs to the factory’s late-19th-century production.
CONDITION: Good antique condition, free from chips and cracks. Paint and gilding loss, especially around the lid’s gold trim, and discoloration around rim edges. The CFH/GDM mark remains visible; the impressed 2 is faint. No ladle included. See photos for details.
