#11 LIMOGES NAPPY

Limoges Nappy

This is a beautiful Limoges nappy with hand painted birds and flowers.  It is hard to find pieces with birds on them so this is a treasure to me.  It is accented in 22K gold on the handle and around the edges.   A nappy is used to serve things like lemon slices, little candies, etc.  Nappy comes in different sizes, this is a larger nappy.

Today these work well as a dresser tray.


Such a beautiful and precious piece.

    Beautiful! I love the little birds. I did not know that's what they were called or used for. Thanks for sharing it with SYC.
    hugs,
