George Demartine & Cie (Company) set of 2 Limoges cups (4 pieces.) I believe one is a rare double handled tea cup and the other is a demitasse or chocolate cup but it could be a cream soup & a tea cup. I have never seen such a small cream soup which makes me doubtful that it is a correct ID. Demitasse by the way means half cup/small cup and are always smaller than a regular sized tea cup. I have included a regular sized tea cup in one photo for comparison. These are marked Avenir, this is not the pattern name as some attribute it but means hand decorated in French. The set has heavy gold trim with hand painted roses and blue flowers on a white blank. Tea cup stand is for photo use only and not included. I also have a set of 6 saucers listed in this pattern. George Demartine was in business from 1884 - 1906 and designed items for Tiffany. I am guessing these are from 1890 - 1900.
Approx Size: double handled cup - 3.25" w x 2.5"w (cup only), saucer - 4.75" w
Condition*: Very good condition for age. No chips or cracks, there is the odd small spot or popped air bubble here or there, nothing noticeable.
Keats said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Each of us has a different idea of what "beauty" is. I find unique vintage items and offer them to you, the beholder.
