It has two Alfred Lanternier Limoges marks-the AL mark with the anchor dated 1911 to 1914 and the blue Lanternier mark dated 1891 to 1914. So this dish is over one hundred years old. It has two large craze marks on the base shown by the first mark. Neither has gone through to the front or has chipped. All three angel designs are shown, and the piece is trimmed in gold with a very nice handle design.

The dish measures about 11.25 inches tall and wide. It is 2.25 inches tall to the rim and about 2.00 inches deep. The handle is 4.25 inches high.

The dish is in amazing shape given its age. The scalloping is clean with a beaded detail closer to the rim. The porcelain is still shiny white, the gold trim is intact and someone took lovely care of this antique.

It has two backstamps as shown. There are also two letters which might be CA stamped in the porcelain near the first mark.

The dish is clean and shiny with no chips, cracks, or other damage other than the two craze marks on the bottom (picture 7). See less
