These pair of figurines are probably 2 of the best Limoges Bisque Porcelain Figurines we have EVER seen.

Most definitely in the style of any identical to Vion & Baury pieces.

One is of a Lady in period dress/attire cradling a Dove, all hand painted and decorated to the FINEST QUALITY. The base is marked with the makers initials “C.H.”. She is made of fine bisque porcelain in the Old Paris porcelain style.

The other is of a Gentleman Set in period dress/attire with a Dove on his shoulder….all hand painted and decorated, with 24K gold accents, to the FINEST QUALITY. The base is marked with the makers stamp “Monvoisin”. He is made of fine bisque porcelain in the Old Paris porcelain style. We believe the maker was Abel Monvoisin.

We have been unable to identify the maker “Monvoisin” or “CH” but are satisfied that these would have been most likely made in Paris at the end of the 18th Century. Many of these Paris porcelain makers have been lost to history …. hence the generic term of “Old Paris Porcelain’, to describe these types of items. less
