Structurally sound with no chips, cracks, or professional repairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollector’s Note: The Elite Works Dual-Mark System\u003cbr\u003eEven without its lid, this piece remains a significant collector's item due to its prestigious Elite Works dual-backstamp. The green underglaze factory mark ('ELITE \/ L \/ FRANCE') dates the porcelain body to 1896–1920, while the red overglaze 'St. Martial' shield confirms the intricate decoration was completed in-house between 1900 and 1914. Collectors highly prize these dual-marked examples as they verify the piece was both manufactured and decorated entirely within the Elite factory during their most celebrated era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA timeless survivor from a bygone era of elegance, this Elite Works bowl is a functional heirloom that brings the charm of turn-of-the-century France to the modern home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherished Memories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882738016490,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/2228\/0938\/files\/IMG_6169.webp?v=1773338690","url":"https:\/\/cherished-memories-2612.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-elite-works-limoges-square-vegetable-bowl-celadon-dots-gilded-scrolls","provider":"Cherished Memories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
