Set of 8 coffee tea cups in limoges porcelain signed vignaud edging gold and cobalt blue

This elegant series of 8 cups and their sub-cups is made of limoges porcelain. These are round cups perfect for tea or coffee. They are striated in the lower part and decorated with gold and cobalt blue border and a classical frieze. The porcelain is fine and the handles are gilded. In very good condition, this set bears the brands "limoges france vignaud". The porcelain factories of limoges are renowned since the 18th century. The porcelain makers have been awarded several times during their participation in world exhibitions in london, paris, vienna, philadelphia and chicago. In 1925, the international exhibition of decorative arts conferred on limoges the title of "international capital of porcelain". Inspired, from all times, by trends in decoration and fashion, the limoges table is synonymous with the french art of living. Limoges porcelain is an exceptional and translucent white. High quality, the pieces are worked with finesse and the ornaments are elegant. In good general condition, I report discreet traces of use and slight wear of the gilding. Size: Cup - 9 cm X 5 cm high. Saucer - 14.5 cm diameter.
