OHIO CHINA Company O. C. Co. Limoges Porcelain - Vintage Decorative Dish w/ Gold Trim
Description: You are bidding on a vintage shell-shaped decorative porcelain dish, produced by the Ohio China Co. formerly of East Palestine, Ohio in the United States, sometime during their production years of 1890 - 1912. The O. C. Co. was one of many porcelain manufacturers located in Ohio, who used the 'Limoges' technique of porcelain manufacturing. Note: in the 20th Century, the French Limoges company disputed the american manufacturers' use of their name.
The shallow porcelain dish features a shell shaped outline with scalloped edges set atop a footed base. The interior of the serving dish features clusters of small, pink rose carnations flowers and shrubbery set against a pale green background. The interior of the vintage dish has sculpted folds and ridges which terminate at the edges into a number of swirl shapes, which were originally finished with gold trim highlights.
The kidney-shaped base of the asymmetrical porcelain dish is stamped with the Green Backstamp of the Ohio China Co, the text is arranged to read from top to bottom:
