I have an antique china dish with the markings GAO/France and inside red circular reaf, 3DA Limoges|||If you suspect it is old and may have any value, you can have it appraised for free in Paris and I know they also do it by mail. You just need to take good quality pictures of it and write a description of the object, how you got it, etc.

If you don't know anyone that speaks French, send them an e-mail saying that:
Madame, Monsieur,
Je souhaiterais obtenir des informations sur un plat en porcelaine que je poss猫de et qui comporte les inscriptions suivantes: GAO/France et dans un cercle rouge, l'inscription 3DA Limoges.
Je n'habite pas en France et ne parle pas fran莽ais (quelqu'un a traduit ce texte pour moi), puis-je envoyer une description de l'objet en anglais? Comment puis-je obtenir une estimation de cet objet?
Avec mes remerciements,
(Your name here)
Insert a couple of pictures with close-ups of the markings in your e-mail.
If they reply in French and you don't understand the answer, post it here, someone will translate it for you.
In any case, you can also check this site:
