HISTORY/MARKS: Begun in the 1850's, Vogt Dose became Tressemann
Vogt when Emillien Tressemann joined the company in 1882. This
was essentially a decorating studio which began manufacturing
their own china in 1891 in Limoges, France. The company
continued until it was dissolved due to the retirement of
Tressemann in 1907. From 1907-1919, the company operated as
Porcelain Gustave Vogt under the direction of Gustave Vogt, John
Vogt's son, and continued to use the shops T V mark. T V is well known
for its quality whiteware and boldly decorated hand paintings.
Interesting enough, we find Tressemann spelled as Tressemanes or
Tresseman in multiple authoritative sources. The green T V
underglaze manufacturer's mark is Mary Frank Gaston's mark #6 in
Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition. This
mark was used from 1892-1907. The red T V overglaze
manufacturer's mark is Mary Frank Gaston's mark #11 which was
also used 1892-1907.
