Mr Bligh's Bad Language is an anthropological and historical study of the mutiny on the Bounty, and its role in soc ...click for details

Absinthe era saucer from a French bar with a burgundy rim.

We just got this great octagonal bistrot or absinthe saucer in France. It has a wonderful, bold price of 1.50 francs, a raised star (rare) in the center, and a silvered border which is somewhat worn. There is a small silver circle, also worn, in the center, making this a very elegant and high-end saucer.
The saucer has a Limoges mark as well as the mark of J. Laplaine, Ste Livrade sur Lot, possibly the wholesaler. The saucer is large, just a tad under 5 inches across.
Truly a handsome piec ...click for details
