The creamer and sugar here were made by a Limoges company however they were sold undecorated to a Chicago decorating studio for finishing. There was a thriving china decorating industry in Chicago around the turn-of-the century and into the early 1930's - the largest and most well known company was Pickard which is still thriving today. I've tried to obtain pieces from all the various studios but some are more difficult to find. This is from one of the most difficult studios Whites Art Co. - and the use of the calla lilies and lily- of-the valley puts it firmly in the art nouveau style. All comments and critiques appreciated.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
These are beautiful pieces and love their colours, great capture and presentation

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark

These are beautiful! Love the decoration on the pair you have here. Its so nicer to see them hand decorated including when they really put an effort into them.
