Antique Haviland Limoges Tea Cup & Saucer, Forget-Me-Nots

  

This porcelain tea cup and saucer was produced in France by Haviland Limoges. The saucer is 5 1/2 inches in diameter. The cup is 2 1/4 inches tall with a diameter of 4 1/4 inches. The porcelain is thin and delicate. The shape of the cup and saucer is known as the "Ransom blank", with a ribbon shaped handle, scalloped feet and crimped edges on the saucer.

The ground color is a soft pastel yellow wash. Bunches of forget-me-nots spread across the surfaces of both pieces.

Their bright blue is a harbinger of spring. There are gilded accents on the rims and the handle is painted gold. FOR OUR CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE US. The Post Office requires this.
