The blank is double marked on the reverse with the Bawo & Dotter (Elite Works) Mark 5, underglaze white ware mark in green used after 1900 and Mark 9a, overglaze decorating mark in red that was used in the time period from 1900-1914. Bawo & Dotter was established in the 1860s in New York City for the purpose of importing china, notably Limoges porcelain, for the American consumer.

The firm set up its own decorating studio in Limoges during the early 1870s which was named "The Elite Works". From the 1870s through the 1890s, the company decorated the white ware made by other Limoges factories. See less
