Dimensions:

For your consideration, we offer two very elegant tea sets, made by GDA  and Ch.Field Haviland, Limoges / France.
 One set consists of tea cup, saucer, a large side plate for dessert and a smaller one, for multiple uses (butter, marmalade, tea bag).
The other set does not have the small side plate.

The two sets are being sold separately. The price is for ONE SET ONLY.
The first to go will be the four-piece-set, so first come, first serve...


They are very finely decorated with an intricate garland
combining green dots and gold rays, against a white background  (pattern CHF651) (see photos).
The cup's handle is covered in gold.
All pieces have a thick gold trim and the owner's initials painted in gold (GHM).
Nicely glazed surfaces.

The green -under glaze- marks at the bottom read:
GDA
France

The
red -over glaze- decorating marks read:
CH.FIELD HAVILAND
LIMOGES

Based on the trademarks, the sets were manufactured and decorated sometime between 1900 and 1941
( Mary Frank Gaston, The Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 1998, p.172-74, 187)
.

  The set is in relatively good vintage condition.
  With the exception of a small flake on the face of the dessert plates (see photos), I cannot see any other chips, or cracks, nor any breakage, or restoration.
The gold trim has oxidized and worn off at places with age.

Please study the photos closely, because they form part of the description.

   They came from a Massachusetts home.
