Antique French Match Striker (Wm. Guerin for Limoges, early 1900's)
A rare find in the world of vintage and antique match strikers, this beauty is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. Made by William Guerin & Co, for Limoges (France), this flow blue porcelain piece boasts beautiful blue dots/bands against a white background. A delicate metallic gold band adorns the rim of the base. Signed on the base. Based on the stamp, we are dating this to likely 1891-1900, and no later than 1911 (when Guerin & Co. merged with another maker and the name changed). Absolutely incredible condition for its age, with few signs of use.
