Le Mieux 7 Piece 24kt Gold Porcelain Set

Creator: Jean Paul Lemieux
Offered by: Rockwell Antiques Dallas

Description
Presenting a stunning Le Mieux 7 Piece 24kt gold Porcelain set.

Marked for “Le Mieux China …. 24karat gold … hand decorated”

The Set consists of a pair of vase shaped uplighter table lamps, a serving tray, a teapot, sugar pot and creamer and a swan necked centerpiece bowl.

Each piece consists of an ivory colored porcelain with teal sections, hand painted/decorated medallions featuring classical Louis XVI Scenes and heavy decorated with 24 karat gold applique with floral backgrounds.

A fabulous survivor from circa 1935-39. Made in France, probably Limoges.

One of the medallions (on the lamp on the right) is signed but we cannot decypher the signature. … it looks like M. Laazernes (?) and underneath is later inscribed with what looks like, “Amsterdam 70–“.

Not much is known or recorded about the ‘Le Mieux Factory’. It is believed that the Le Mieux Factory was located in the Limoges Region of France and was destroyed in WWII as most other examples of their wares which have appeared on the market date pre 1939.
