Maker: This gorgeous cup and saucer set is believed to have been made in Paris in the mid-1800s.
The competitive world of Parisian porcelain making in the 19th century produced an era of superb quality. Paris hosted many studios known for producing exceptionally beautiful and highly coveted porcelain wares.
This set is part of a Paris porcelain service, purchased at an estate sale full of high-end china and crystal, that was sold separately. Although the other pieces in the set a...re also unmarked, its teapot, sugar bowl and creamer are in the exact shapes and sizes of an authenticated "tete-à-tete" tea service for two that was produced in Paris and decorated by one of the many studios in and around rue de la Paix in the mid-1800s.
Design: This exquisite set features gold scrollwork and is richly trimmed in gold. Finely hand-painted multi-colored flowers decorate both pieces.
Size: The cup is 3 7/8 inches wide and 2 3/4 inches tall. The saucer is 5 3/4 inches wide. Together the set weighs 8.6 ounces.
Condition: There are no nicks, chips, cracks, repairs, stains or significant scratches. Both pieces have many of the tiny darks spots and imperfections that are typical of porcelain of this era. There is significant wear to the gold on both pieces, especially the saucer; it's visible throughout the photos. The floral sections are largely intact.
Please check all the photos very carefully - they are an important part of the description.
