This is a rare Haviland Limoges cup & saucer in the Schleiger #72 pattern. The design is of draped roses along the rim of both the cup & saucer, with a beautiful large single rose in the center of the saucer and in the bottom of the cup, and a heavy gold trim on all pieces. The set is very delicate, fine porcelain. The saucer has a scalloped rim that is trimmed in gold and has a raised beading on the inner rim that is covered in gold.
This set is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or flakes. The gold is in very good condition. As with all antique china, there may be a factory dot or glaze skip, but nothing that takes away from the beauty of the pieces.
The cup measures approximately 3 1/2" wide, and 2" tall. The Saucer is approximately 5 1/4" across.
The marks on the bottoms of both pieces of this set is the over glazed Haviland and Co. over Limoges in red, and the green underglaze Haviland over France. The over glazed red mark is the Haviland mark #13. and the underglaze green mark is the Haviland mark #12 in the Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges. These marks date this set back to between 1893 to 1930.
