Movement and the sense of danger or heightened awareness are also depicted in paintings of other animals as well. Two of the best Limoges artists in painting these subjects are Dubois and A. Broussillon. One of the other common decorating themes of Limoges porcelain is flowers. The majority of the dinnerware sets are decorated with floral transfers and gold highlights. Although most of the dinnerware patterns are floral transfers in subdued colors, sometimes with gold accents, others are brightly colored with lavish use of gold borders and accents.
Flowers are also the predominant themes on dresser sets.
While decorative pieces have more varied subjects, floral designs also make up a large proportion of these items as well, especially pieces painted by American artists. With decorative pieces, the flowers are more often boldly painted in bright colors, with lavish use of gilt. The more striking paintings are those where the flowers appear fresh and lifelike. With jardinieres, cachepots and vases, the floral themes should encompass the entire piece, and not just one angle or view. There are also some unusual paintings, particularly on plates, where floral patterns are used as foregrounds to frame background scenes, giving the piece a sense of depth and dimension Some painters, using pastels and soft colors have been able to give floral patterns a wispy effect, where the flowers and foliage are almost floating on the porcelain.
