I'am selling this for a family member who is in her late 70's and this was givin to her by a older family member who would be over a 100 by now if still living. This is a gorgeous piece and i think is limoges since it has the initials J.P.L. France. Also to the left of that says hand painted N.A.D.W (i think that is what it says) Also it has the artist that painted it signature-hard for me to make out. Gorgeous flowers painted on with gold handle. LOVE the shape of this pitcher. It is 5" tall and app. 7" wide including the handle. The bottom of the base is 3 3/4" wide. No chips or cracks. If you have more questions please ask BEFORE you offer, no returns. I tried to take as many pics as possible. Please don't hesitate to ask more questions. Thanks so much for looking at this very pretty piece!,After doing some research i've seen nice onesbut this one is one of those REALLY pretty ones!take care, Susan.
