Rare Mid-20th Century Limoges “Édition d’Art” Shell Dish by Porcelaine de Couleuvre, France

A refined mid-20th century Limoges shell dish produced by Porcelaine de Couleuvre for the Édition d’Art à Tirage Réservé series.

The composition balances Rococo inspiration with mid-century French artistry, making it a striking accent for a dressing table, entry console, or cocktail display.

Porcelaine de Couleuvre, founded in 1789 in central France, became renowned for its refined porcelain and collaborations with Parisian decorators throughout the 20th century. This special édition d’art mark denotes a limited artist’s edition produced in small quantities for collectors.
