A truly exceptional and highly decorative antique French porcelain serving tray, hand-painted in 1919 and crafted on a fine Bernardaud (B&C) Limoges blank. This elegant tray features soft, romantic florals in shades of lavender, blush, butter yellow, and sky blue, framed by a delicate green wash and finished with luminous gilt handles.

The back is signed and dated “Hullinger 1919,” making this a rare, documented example of early 20th-century hand-painted Limoges porcelain. Pieces like this were created as luxury table and salon wares, often used for serving tea sandwiches, pastries, or sweets in refined homes — and today they make stunning statement pieces for both entertaining and display.

This tray is over 100 years old and remains a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship that made Limoges porcelain world-famous.
