Antique GEO ROUARD FRANCE Bowls x 4 ALCORA Pictorial Early Rare 1909-29 Signed
Posted by admin On May 17, 2026


Antique and very scarce set of 4 French large wide bowls (9 6/8 or 25cm diameter appx)…. They display very well and are attractive and decorative…. And will look wonderful when combined with other Faience pottery/ceramics. We believe that these are early and although they are signed on the backs with the famous Geo Rouard mark, they also have a seperate but included mark of “OL” which could stand for “Limoges”, however after studying the pattern and also Rouards collaboration with other companies and designers, there is a chance that these are in fact Venetian… And the pattern is called “Alcora”. French classical pictorial in the Art Nouveau style with 2 angels holding a duck and flower, classical statue figure, jugs steaming with oil or incense, Bacchus mask faces, acanthus leaves and scrolls and what appears to be stained glass with punting pole behind, with a hint of the Art Nouveau styling….. All in an “off white” porcelain or could be “Faience” as it is glazed over the decoration. I have attached some, just for your reference and interest. Lots of pics all will enlarge and any questions then please ask and I can provide further pics and measurements if needed. Considering their age, and they are antiques, they are in good condition and I have doubled checked them over. Please note: that 2 of the bowls top facing rims have the merest tiny chips see photo of this and also the reverse facing rims do have nibbles and extremely tiny chips. They have pin pricks and tiny inclusions in the glaze and some indentations in the manufacture under glaze. They all have glaze crazing which is to be expected, however luckily enough this has not discoloured and so they remain a good overall colour. Courier tracked signed and strong box as over 2kg.
