Antique GDA Limoges Footed Powder Jar Hand Painted Pink Roses Gold Gilt Vanity Box c1900
Antique GDA Limoges footed powder jar, crafted in France during the Belle Époque period (circa 1890–1910). This elegant vanity piece features hand-painted pink roses on a soft pastel blue-to-yellow shaded ground, accented with raised gold gilt feet and side handles. The domed lid is topped with a sculptural gilt finial, completing the classic dresser jar form sought by Limoges and vanity collectors.
Produced by Gérard, Dufraisseix & Morel (GDM) for the American export market and marked GDA France, this is a true antique powder jar — not a later trinket box.
