Nice Puce Trim Cup & Saucer #2

This is a second cup and saucer made by Meissen in about 1760. Both the cup and saucer have a handpainted large floral arrangement on them as well as a several small scattered flowers. Nice flower in the bottom of the inside cup. Superb puce and gold trim to the rim. Not common that one sees this type of trim! The cup and saucer are in superb condition with some very minor spots of wear and one flaw in the center of the saucer where the blue flower is - a flaw in the paste which was painted partially but some glaze popped off around it. No big deal and part of the charm of these early pieces. The saucer is about 1.25 inches tall and 5.25 inches in diameter. The cup is 1.75 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter. Both pieces are marked with the underglaze blue crossed swords mark with the dot between the bottom as well as the usual impressed numbers. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $649
