Lidded Relief Scene Cup & As Is Saucer

This is a lidded cup & saucer made by Doccia / Ginori in the mid 19th century. Probably a hot chocolate cup. The cup is decorated with biblical or mythological scenes in relief all around that are hand painted very nicely. It has a red coral branch handle to either side. The saucer has the usual really neat relief design with swags of relief flowers in between. The lid also has the raised figures to it with a gold rim and has a figurine serving as the finial. The cup and lid are is in great condition but sadly there is a chip to the edge of the saucer as shown. I will have to look hard for a perfect replacement! The set still display nicely plus the lidded pieces are very hard to find. The set is marked with the common crown over N mark (faintly on the saucer) copied so often by other makers from this original. The cup is 3 inches tall and 2.875 inches in diameter. The lid has a diameter of 3 inches and is about 2 inches tall. The saucer is 1 inch tall and 5.875 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $299
