HISTORY/MARKS: Though Charles Ahrenfeldt (1807-94) was born in Lubeck, Germany, he began importing porcelain into New York City in 1831 to his business located on Park Row. He was most likely the first importer of Bohemian porcelain into the US. During the 1840’s he moved to Paris where he had a decorating studio. Between 1859 and the late 1860’s he opened an exporting firm in Limoges and developed a wide export market, especially to North America. Around 1884 he also started decorating porcelain in Limoges. The son, Charles Jules Ahrenfeldt (1857-1934), took over the porcelain factory in 1894, upon his father's death. In 1896 he built a porcelain factory in the Montjovis district of Limoges. The son and his business partner, M.O. Doering, both relocated to Europe in late 1909. Herman Kupper purchased the business in February of 1910. The C. Ahrenfeldt (Charles J. Ahrenfeldt) underglaze manufacturers mark #5 was used 1894-1930's as cited by Mary Frank Gaston's Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition. There is also the decorators mark 8a in green used 1894-1930’s. So, the circa for this set is 1894-1930's. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
