ANTIQUE CH FIELD HAVILAND LIMOGES DEPOS CFH GDM 4 PC LARGE SERVING DISHES / COVERED TAUREEN SERVING SET, INCLUDES 4 TAUREENS, AND 3 LIDS. PLEASE SEE DETAILED ITEM DESCRIPTION FOR EACH PIECE AS FOLLOWS: (#1) EXLARGE 13-1/4″ LONG FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE X 7-1/2″ WIDE X 4 INCHES DEEP OPEN TAUREEN, NO LID, IN VERY GOOD ANTIQUE CONDITION, NO CRACKS, CHIPS, OR HAIRLINE CRACKS, I DON’T FIND ANY CRAZING. GOLD DETAIL ON TOP SURFACE OF HANDLES HAS RUBBED OFF OVER TIME, PRIMARILY JUST THE TOP SURFACE WHERE IT WAS HANDLED THE MOST, THE REST OF THE GOLD ON THE HANDLES OF THIS PIECE LOOKS FINE. THE DISH IS HEAVY, STRUCTURALLY SOUND, AND IS SUITABLE FOR USE. IT HAS LOVELY HAND PAINTED FLORALS, AND THE ARTWORK COLORS ARE VIBRANT; THE ARTWORK ON THIS PIECE IS VERY FINE, SAME IS TRUE OF ALL FOUR TAUREENS! IT HAS THE OFFICIAL C. FIELD HAVILAND LIMOGES BACKSTAMP. THIS IS THE LARGEST TAUREEN IN THIS SET AND IT WAS DISPLAYED UPSIDE DOWN WITH A LARGE TAUREEN ON TOP OF IT, AS SHOWN IN PHOTO. LARGE 11-3/4″ FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE X 7″ WIDE X 3 DEEP TAUREEN WITH LID, IT ALSO HAS SAME C. FIELD HAVILAND BACKSTAMP WITH DEPOS (HAND PAINTED) INDENT MARK AND HAS CFH. THIS DISH IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY CHIPS OR CRACKS, NO HAIRLINE CRACKS, I DONT SEE ANY CRAZING, THE HAND PAINTED ARTWORK AND GOLD ACCENT WORK AND TRIM IS VERY NICE, THERE ARE TWO TAUREENS IN THIS SET THAT ARE THIS EXACT SIZE AND THE LIDS ARE INTERCHANGABLE BETWEEN THE TWO, I CHOSE THE NICEST OF THE TWO LIDS FOR THIS TAUREEN AND LIKE THE FIRST TAUREEN IT HAS NO CHIPS OR CRACKS AND IS VERY NICE! THIS THIRD TAUREEN IS ALSO 11-1/2 LONG FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE, AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ONE AND THE PREVIOUS ONE DETAILED IS THAT IT HAS A CHIP ON IT’S RIM, AS PICTURED, THAT DOES NOT SHOW WNEN THE LID IS IN PLACE, AND THE LID HAS A VERY MINOR TINY CHIP ON THE UNDERSIDE OF IT’S RIM, YOU HAVE TO TURN THE LID UPSIDE DOWN TO SEE IT, AND IT’S FAIRLY INSIGNIFICANT. THIS TAUREEN IS VERY STURDY AND IS SUITABLE FOR BOTH USE AND DISPLAY. THIS LAST TAUREEN IS THE SMALLEST, IT APPEARS TO BE ABOUT A 1-1/2 TO 2 QUART CAPACITY AND IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS SQUARE INSTEAD OF RECTANGULAR. IT MEASURES 9″ FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE X 7-1/2″ WIDE X 2-3/4″ DEEP, IT STANDS 4-1/2″ TALL WITH LID. THIS COVERED TAUREEN IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT HAS A CHIPPED OUT SECTION ON BOTH SIDES OF ONE CORNER OF IT’S RIM, THIS DAMAGE DOSE NOT SHOW WHEN THE LID IS IN PLACE, THE DISH ALSO HAS A CRACK AND I WOULD NOT TRY TO USE IT FOR FOOD UNLESS A LINER DISH IS USED LIKE A CLEAR PLASTIC, GLASS, WHITE GLASS, OR METAL DISH THAT WOULD FIT INSIDE THIS DISH SINCE I WOULD NOT TRUST THIS ONE WITH FOOD WITH OUT A LINER DISH. THIS DISH IS FANTASIC FOR DISPLAY SINCE NONE OF THE DAMAGE SHOWS WHEN THE LID IS IN PLACE, AND THE HAND PAINTED FLORALS, GOLD ACCENTS AND TRIM, ALL ARE VERY NICE. THIS TAUREEN ALSO HAS ALL THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED BACKSTAMPS, INDENTS, AND MARKINGS ON IT’S BOTTOM. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE SAME ARTIST PAINTED THE FLORAL ARTWORK ON ALL OF THE PIECES IN THIS SET. NO TWO HAVE IDENTICAL FLOWERS, BUT ALL ARE SIMILIAR IN STYLE AND TOGETHER CREATE A STUNNING DISPLAY! IT IS RARE TO FIND THIS MANY LARGE PIECES OF THE SAME DEPOS “HAND PAINTED” C. SINCE A GREAT MANY HAVE BEEN LOST TO TIME AND DAMAGE. THIS SET IS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE AND WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE IN VALUE OVER TIME! – PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS AND CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS!
