Antique Cup & Saucer Sarreguemines Minton 235 (Grand Depots) B
This is an antique teacup and saucer from the Sarreguemines factory, pattern Minton No. 235.
Floral patterns painted in vivid colors. The colors are hand-painted over a transfer, giving a sense of exquisite craftsmanship.
This pattern is known as "Chinese Vase." In the center, there is a design of flowers placed on a footed tray.
It's a wonderful series where vibrant flowers bloom on the beautiful, translucent white porcelain.
This is a cup and saucer made for the E. Bourgeois store,
so the backstamp on the back of the saucer is "Grand Depots." This makes it a bit unusual.
Condition: There is a hairline crack on the saucer, but it is in relatively good condition.
Size:
Cup: 11.5cm x 9cm x 4.5cm (height)
Saucer: 14.5cm (diameter) x 2cm (height)
Period: 1880-1915
