Antique Limoges France Porcelain Hot Chocolate Pot in Green & Brown 10"H

Antique Limoges Frsnce porcelain hot chocolate pot in rich chocolate brown and light green with delicate flowers. This is a magnificent piece, ornate in design and in very good condition, except for a hairline crack in the lid, as shown in the photos. The crack is slight and does not enter through. Additionally, minimal age wear on paint noted on the rim, undoubtedly from removing and replacing the lid over the many years. What makes Limoges so valuable and sought after? France, in part because it refers not to one single maker, but rather yo the array of hard-paste factories that thrived in the eponymous town.The first porcelain under the Limoges mark was produced in 1771. I acquited this pot from a beloved aunt, long deceased. I know it to be from the 1930s. It is delicate,not to be used but admired. I never pick it up by the handle,rather the body. It is a gorgeous piece of precious porcelain artistry.
