Subject: Valuing Limoges Porcelain
Questions to ask when valuing Limoges items:

What is the quality of decor?
Does it have high quality hand-painting?
Is it signed by the artist?
Is it decorated with transfers?

Naturally, with some of the Limoges pieces being decorated by amateurs,
collectors sometimes notice a variation in the quality of the décor.
When valuing Limoges pieces, this should be taken into consideration.
High quality hand painting holds more value than the work of an
unskilled porcelain painter. And if a skillfully decorated piece is
signed by the artist, it can be worth even more.

Some pieces of Limoges porcelain were decorated with transfers as well.
These transfers were decals of sorts that mimicked hand decorating and
were often combined with techniques executed by hand. Even a
beautifully transferred piece will hold more value than a poorly
executed hand-decorated item. Generally, however, collectors prefer
hand decorated pieces and will pay premium prices to procure a nice
example.
