Limoges Demitasse Cup & Saucer Cherub Cobalt Blue Sevres Style

  
This porcelain demitasse cup and saucer was produced in France by a Limoges decorating firm in the 1890s. There are hand painted letters J. The porcelain blank marking is gilded over. The saucer is 5 inches in diameter and 7/8 of an inch deep. The cup is 2 1/4 inches high with a diameter of 2 1/8 inches.

The cup is quatrafoil shaped on top and blown out and puffy on the bottom. It has a fancy, rococo style handle. The ground color is cobalt blue. Elaborately hand gilded with two colored raised gold. The front of the cup has a hand painted scene of cupid with his quiver of arrows, preparing an attack on some love sick victim.

There is a reserve on the saucer with musical instruments and flowers. The painting is done with fine detail and soft colors.

It is exquisite and rare. FOR OUR CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE US. The Post Office requires this.
