Pretty little iridescent dish / saucer - maker and date?

(1/2) > >>

josordoni:
This is such a pretty little dish. The top rim is ground flat, and then gilded, and it is coated top and bottom with a very oystery iridescence.  Just under 5 ins dia. (125 mm) I have 6 of them - I wondered if they are actually saucers, with no cups?  They have a rather Edwardian feel to the gilding in my eyes.

Iridescent saucer

Mike M:
Hi

I believe this pattern was was past down as companies took over others

I think it was originated by Lobmeyr but also (and mainly) produced by Moser (for whom the 4 lobes became almost a trademark)

It comes in dishes, bowls, glasses etc c1890 but made for quite a few years

Cheers

Mike

josordoni:
Thank you so much Mike - do you think they are saucers without cups, or originally made to be dishes?

Mike M:
They could well have had cups if they were destined for the UK Market

More likely they has little bowls -French Market

I've seen them with both

Cheers

Mike

josordoni:
yes, I can imagine them with bowls, like little finger bowls.  Fortunately, I think they are quite charming just as they are!
