Antique Limoges Cider Pitcher, Vintage Lemonade Jug, Stouffer Gold, Signed, B & C, order Hand Painted Fruit, Early 1900s Donisch

This is an absolutely stunning antique lemonade or cider pitcher! The luster of the gold is amazing (I'm guessing 18K or 24K), the band of colorful fruit is just beautiful. Signed F.D. for Edward F. Donisch, which, as far as I can discover dates this item to between 1905 - 1907. The marks on the bottom are "B & G Limoges France" and "Stouffers Hand Decorated". It measures approximately 5.5" high and 9.5" across the widest part, handle to spout. Unbelievably, there are no chips or cracks. The gold and the painted band are beautiful and vibrant. The only small issue is some loss of paint on the little lower edges, as shown in the last picture. This is a real prize!
