Bawo & Dotter Limoges Porcelains b25
Bawo & Dotter was established in New York City in the 1860s to import porcelain, especially from Limoges, into the USA.
In the early 1870s they established The Elite Works in Limoges to decorate porcelain made by other factories. Their production included table china, decorative pieces and trinket boxes. Some of their marks incorporated St. Martial from the seal of the City of Limoges.
Porcelain production was interrupted during WWI. Shortly after the war, they bought the William Guerin company (which had purchase the Pouyat company), and the company became Guerin-Pouyat-Elite, apparently continuing use of all three company marks.
The company closed in 1932.
Bawo & Dotter also had large operations in Austria and Czechoslovakia, with completely different marks.
