TOUZE - LEMAITRE - BLANCHET in LIMOGES. Twelve large and twelve small porcelain plates decalcomanied with vases decorated with stylized flowering branches, the border repeating the motif (very slight wear). Marked. 1925-1930. Diameter: 22 to 25 cm Note: The history of this family business began in 1863 when Michel Touze and A. Soudanas joined forces. Between 1901 and 1913, the company was called J.B.T Cie. but had to cease trading at the outbreak of the First World War. In 1918, with the war over, the family created the firm Touze, Lemaître frères et L. Blancher. The company undertook a renewal of forms and decors in "modern taste". In 1925, it presented three services designed by the artist-decorator Lilian de Glehn-Thibaut at the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs Modernes, and subsequently took part in numerous exhibitions. Ella also made services for Primavera, the art studio of the Printemps department store. T.L.B. did not survive the Second World War and seems to have ceased trading in 1942.
