Antique Vincennes Sevres Hand Painted Porcelain Tea Cup and Saucer I

Exceptional Antique Vincennes Sevres Hand Painted Porcelain Cup and Saucer, hand painted with a beautiful and very decorative portrait, on a stunning and very rare to find apple green Sevres background. From an old chateau estate in Europe. The cup has a stunning original portrait of a lady, delicately and expertly painted by the most accomplished painters of the era. Completely hand decorated, the saucer features a hand applied gilt trim and center.

Collectors prize this "Old Paris" or "Vieux Paris" porcelain. The incredible quality of this cup is indicative of the factories and artisans around Paris from the mid 1700's to the end of the second empire. Unmarked { it is estimated that around 70% of production in this era had no identifying marks at all} this is an original work of art. A once-in-a-lifetime addition to your collection. Has a minute fleabite to the rim, and some wear to the gilding.

• Measures: Cup 3-3/8" x 4-1/8" x 2-1/4"h.;Saucer 5".
