A  truly stunning  Limoges porcelain cup and saucer  featuring an enormous amount of lavish decor and exquisite craftsmanship. The set boasts an extravagant, swirling floral design  in the Art Nouveau taste of the period,   with molded detailing, profuse raised  and brushed gilding and  multi color enamelling  over a gradient  peach to light blue ground and solid cobalt  blue bands. 

The set was produced in Limoges , France by Gerard Dufraiuseix et Abbott  (GDA) company  which  had purchased the porcelain factory from Charles Haviland in 1882  when he retired. The factory was originally established  in 1797  and  continues to operate to the present day , now under Royal Limoges trademark.
  
The duo is in excellent condition with no flaws and practically no  signs of wear. Marked to the underside of each piece with a printed green GDA France stamp. 
Dimensions: the cup - 3" wide across the top,  2 1/2"  high, the saucer - 5 1/2" diameter
This is a delightful set to add to any fine  porcelain collection  to display or  to enjoy  your special  cup of coffee, or both!
