….Charles Field Haviland Limoges Sauce Dish with Underliner, c. 1950
Description
A stunning mid-century Charles Field Haviland Limoges sauce dish and underliner featuring an exquisite marriage of traditional craftsmanship and modernist sensibility. This exceptional piece showcases hand-painted wild flowers with delicate gilded details on a cleverly designed baroque-influenced form.
The white porcelain body captivates with its asymmetrical swirls and organic curves—a sophisticated departure from traditional symmetry that speaks to the 1950s embrace of free-flowing, contemporary design. The baroque references are unmistakable yet reimagined through a distinctly modern lens, making this piece equally at home in both classic and eclectic interiors.
