Item : Antique Limoges Porcelain Pitcher (Early 1900s)
Heritage Notes:
This is exquisite antique porcelain pitcher from Limoges, France. It is an authentic piece, featuring the “D&C” manufacturing mark on the base, which dates its production to approximately 1900-1910.
This pitcher exhibits a beautiful, classic form and a uniquely sculpted handle reminiscent of natural branch or perhaps anatomical forms, typical of the Art Nouveau period’s focus on nature.
Dimensions:
• Height: 10.5 inches
• Opening (Width): 5 inches
Condition:
This is an authentic antique item in excellent structural condition, free of large chips or major damage. As is common with porcelain of this age, please note there is a very faint, exterior-only hairline fracture on the main body of the pitcher. This imperfection is difficult to see unless under direct, close inspection
Price: €80
Item: Pair of Vintage Limoges Neoclassical Column Candlesticks
Heritage Notes:
A stunning pair of architectural column candlesticks in pristine white Limoges porcelain. These pieces embody a clean, Neoclassical silhouette that fits effortlessly into a modern or traditional home. Produced in the mid-20th century in the South of France, they feature the authentic “Porcelaine de Limoges” green backstamp.
Dimensions & Details:
• Height: 6.5 inches
• Material: Fine Limoges Porcelain
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. These have been carefully preserved with no chips, cracks, or crazing. They are ready to grace a mantle or a long farmhouse table. The openings where you would place the candle differ slightly so you would need to find candles that would fit both openings.
The Set Includes:
• Antique D&C Limoges Pitcher (c. 1900): Featuring a unique sculpted handle and elegant Art Nouveau form. (Note: Very faint, exterior-only hairline as shown in the video).
• Vintage Limoges Column Candlesticks (Pair): Mid-century neoclassical style in pristine condition.
Price: €85 (The Pair)

Title: Rare 19th Century Salins-les-Bains Porcelain Condiment Caddy
Heritage Notes: An exceptional piece of French culinary history from the renowned Salins manufactory located in in the Franche-Comté region and is legendary for these earthenware pieces. This condiment tray features an intricate transferware pattern in a warm, earthy terra-cotta tone called Sepia. These were the centerpieces of high-end French country tables in the late 1800s, designed to hold oils, vinegars, and spices. It captures the “Rustic Elegance” of the South of France perfectly.
Dimensions & Details:
• Height: 9.75” inches
• Era: Circa 1890–1910
• Components: Includes the central earthenware revolving caddy and glass carafes/pots as shown. Most likely not all original to the set.
Condition Notes:
This piece has lived a full life. One of the small decorative feet underneath is missing; however, I’ve tested it extensively and it does not affect the balance—it sits perfectly level on the table. The antique glass inserts show minor chipping around the rim of the lids, which is completely consistent with over 100 years of use and does not detract from its display beauty.
Price: €120
Item: Set of 12 Vintage French Art Deco Dessert Forks
Heritage Notes: A vibrant set of 12 dessert or “goûter” forks. Featuring stunning marbleized salmon-apricot -hued handles and brass-toned metalwork, these represent the playful yet sophisticated dining style of mid-century France. They come in their original presentation box, a rare find for a complete set.
Dimensions & Details:
• Length: 6.5” inches
• Era: 1930s – 1950s
• Quantity: Full set of 12
• Material: Early French Polymer (Bakelite/Celluloid style) and Brass-toned metal.
Condition Notes:
These have been loved and used at many French dinner parties. Consistent with their age, two forks show minor surface oxidation (rusting) on the metal tines. Additionally, several handles show small longitudinal splits. This is a common and expected occurrence with early 20th-century plastics as they age and stabilize over time; it does not affect the structural integrity of the forks.
Price: €65
