Bawo & Dotter – The Early Years
Bawo & Dotter was established in the 1860s in New York City for the purpose of importing china, notably Limoges porcelain, for the American consumer. The firm set up its own decorating studio in Limoges during the early 1870s which was named “The Elite Works.” The company did not begin manufacturing its own china until about 1896. From the 1870s through the 1890s, the company decorated the white ware made by other Limoges factories. Many examples of Bawo & Dotter’s decoration and porcelain are found in a variety of items.
Bawo & Dotter Markings
The earliest marks used by the company appear to be a vase shape incorporating the initials “B D” over “L”, and the Arms of Limoges. While exact dating is not possible, it is reasonable to assign certain periods to the marks based on examples bearing such marks and by comparing the white ware marks of other companies found in conjunction with the Bawo & Dotter decorating marks. A patent date of “Dec. 12, 82” has been found in conjunction with this type of mark.
Later decorating marks are very similar and also include the Arms of Limoges. The white ware marks seem to show the transition from decorating only to manufacturing, with “Limoges” written in script form in both the underglaze mark and overglaze mark. Another common mark is an impressed mark of “B D” over “L” and “Déposé.” This mark would reflect an early manufacturing mark after 1896. Several other variations of Elite marks have been added.
Bawo & Dotter merges with Guérin-Pouyat-Elite, Ltd
The company’s china production was interrupted in Limoges during World War I. After the war, circa 1920, the company purchased the William Guérin firm. The name of the company became Guérin-Pouyat-Elite, Ltd. (Guérin had previously purchased the Pouyat company.) The individual marks of each of the three companies appear to have been continued from the time of this merger until the business closed in 1932. Apparently, undecorated blanks by either of the three companies were used with a new mark of Guérin-Pouyat-Elite, Ltd. This mark is rarely seen, and information on exactly when it was put in use after 1920 has not been found.

Auguste Renoir or Pierre-Auguste Renoir, one of the central figures of Impressionist movement, was born on February 25, 1841, in a working class family in Limoges, France. Accredited by critics as one of the most popular & independent painters of his time, his paintings are often reproduced and appreciated for the warm sensuality of his style. This prolific French painter characterized his works with the harmony of lines, brilliance of colors, and his intimate charm of a wide variety of subjects.
Renowned for his radiant and intimate paintings (especially those of nude females), Renoir excelled in the history of modern art for the representation of feminine grace. The nude female was one of his key painting subjects. Being an Impressionist painter, he highlighted his painting scenes with the help of the diffused brushing of colors on the canvass. This resulted in a blending appearance of his figures with each other and with their background.
As an adolescent, Auguste began painting flowers on Fine China at a Porcelain factory, graduating later to fans and screens. He undertook formal training in painting from the Academy of the Swiss Charles Gabriel Gleyre in Paris, in the year 1862. Here, Renoir met several acclaimed French artists of the likes of Claude Monet and Eugene Delacroix. These artists highly Influenced Auguste Renoir’s early works, as they were emphatically bright & colored. The flow of Edgar Degas’ paintings also impressed Renoir. Then, Courbet’s Realism reflects in Auguste’s early paintings such as, “Diana,” (1867), in which the figures are modelled & superimposed well, upon a false landscape. As he matured, his works went on getting more and more Impressionist with the canvassing of real life, full of sparkling hues and light. His intensely disciplined and formal technique of portraits and figure paintings made him stand out amongst his Impressionist contemporaries.
One of the best-known Impressionist works of Renoir is “Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette” (Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette) (1876). It pictures a popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre, crowed with people. Some of his other major works include, “The Large Bathers,” “La Grenouillere,” “By the Water,” “The Country Dance,” “Nude in the Sun,” and “Diana the Huntress.”
By 1864, Auguste was exhibiting his work at Paris Salon. Recognition came his way only in 1874; post Franco-Prussian War, at the first exhibition of the New Impressionist School. Later on, he held a solo exhibition at Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris in 1883. In 1890, Auguste Renoir married Aline Victorine Charigot. He had three sons from Aline. The last 20 years of his life was crippled by severe Rheumatic Arthritis (in 1892), as he could not move his hands freely. However, Auguste’s passion for painting continued and he strapped a brush to his arms, in order to paint. At the age of 78, on December 03, 1919, Auguste Renoir died in his house at Cagne.

Limoges Porcelain pieces are often famously known for the exquisite Limoges Porcelain boxes, however, there are absolutely stunning pieces which one can use every day. The classic tea cup! (or coffee mug if you would prefer).
It is thought the first limoges porcelain pieces were created in France late in the 18th century, where highly skilled craftspeople and artists began to manufacture and decorate porcelain pieces in Limoge, selling them throughout Europe. Limoges, is one of the oldest cities in France and is famous for its exquisite porcelain. Rich deposits of kaolin ‘the essential ingredient used in making porcelain paste’ was discovered around Limoges towards the end of the 18th Century.
Limoges Porcelain has been treasured by collectors and lovers of fine china worldwide for centuries. Still exquisitely created in Limoges-France, superior manufacturing processes show the porcelain is of the finest translucent quality, and perfect at any time for those lingering cups of tea.
Today the famous Limoges porcelain is a shining example of French-style luxury that is enjoyed throughout the world! Legle de Limoges porcelain produces a gorgeous range of products in an assortment of stunning colours from pastels to bold, with each piece featuring beautiful hand painted in 24k gold edging or a stylish platinum edge finish.
Enjoy one colour for classic style, or be daring and mix and match colours for a very French effect. Limoge porcelain is a wonderful gift to receive, perfect for special birthday’s, to mark a very special or personal occassion, engagements, weddings & anniversaries. You can discover more about Limoge porcelain and see the beauty of this exquisite product which has stood the test of time over the centuries at our e-commerce store malmaison.com.au. Limoge porcelain is an absolute treasure to admire, use or give as a gift.
The beautiful pastel colours are particularly gorgeous, I personally love treasuring the moment of drinking tea out of my Limoge Green & White Striped Breakfast Cup and Saucer every morning at breakfast.
