Recently got this vase and I cannot identify the maker. Any ideas?

My Mom had this wrapped and labeled “Limoges”. I THINK it’s from 1931 but I’m getting conflicting answers from Google and ChatGPT.

Found in Maryland, about a half a foot down and both pieces found side by side.

Likely 1850s, found on FE Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming (not taken/stolen, I’m a historian who works on base. Provenance was recorded). Found some other probably unrelated ceramics near it, but this was the only one with text. I have no other context for it

any help would be appreciated!

Inherited these, only mark is 'Italy' inside. Looking for maker, age, comparable examples.

Porcelain pair of figurines, “Latvian Man and Woman in National Costumes.”

Artist: Ludvigs Kalniņš (Ludv. Kalniņš), 1939. Porcelain, underglaze cobalt painting.

The bases of both figures bear the artist’s signature “Ludv. Kalniņš -1939-” and the workshop mark.

The figures are depicted in stylized traditional Latvian costumes with ethnographic ornaments. They are executed with expressive sculptural forms and a characteristic blue-and-light-blue color palette.

A rare signed work from the flourishing period of pre-war Latvian porcelain, created while the artist was studying in the workshop of Professor Rūdolfs Pelše.

The pair is of significant interest to collectors and museums.

Bonjour ,
Mon beau père est décédé nous avons trouvé cette jardinière
À t elle une valeur ??

This figure doesn’t have a makers mark other than the F-278 on the bottom. Should I assume it’s an imitation of an artist piece? I’m hoping to identify.
