AKCD Limoges

Q: Can you tell me who made this platter and how old it is?

A: Your platter was made by Klingenberg and Dwenger of Limoges, France. A. Klingenberg operated a porcelain factory and decorating studio in Limoges beginning in the 1880s. His company merged with Charles Dwenger’s decorating studio in the 1890s. These two marks were both used by the company. The first mark was used from the 1890s to 1910 and the round mark was used from 1900 to 1910. Your platter was made between 1900 and 1910, when the company went out of business.
