This is a beautiful Haviland Limoges tea, coffee, or chocolate pot. It is a pale pink with delicate hand painted rose bouquets and gold scroll work all over the body of the pot. The handle, rim, and lid knob are also gilded.
UPDATE: I have uploaded two new pictures (the first and second ones) that better show the color of the piece. The pink is much lighter around the middle of the pot and darker toward the top and bottom (but still very pale pink). The other pictures show the... condition, decoration, and middle color well but make the top and bottom look a little lighter they really are.
It is marked with the H&Co, L, France marking that was used from 1888 to 1896 so it is at least 123 years old. It also has "Carter" and "1895" written on the bottom, which may be the artist's signature.
It is in incredible condition for its age. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs. It has some wear to the gilding on the handle, rim, and lid knob but no wear to the gold scroll work. It's difficult to tell if there is fading to the painted flowers or if it was just originally painted by a light hand. It is a very beautiful piece.
It is approximately 9 1/2" tall, including the lid, and 5" in diameter at its widest point. It will be packed with extreme care and insured for shipping.
PLEASE NOTE: If you live in Texas, I must collect 8.25% sales tax. It will automatically be added to your total (not including shipping) at checkout. Thank you for looking!
