Miniature Cobalt Blue & Gold Plate with Fragonard Design - Limoges

Small cobalt blue plate with gold decoration, including the central image of a courting couple after Fragonard. It has the original brass mount and wire stand which does not appear ever to have been removed although the stand has been bent around a bit (not least by me in an attempt to get it to stand in the correct position. However the decoration does not appear to be damaged although as I am reluctant to remove it, I cannot guarantee this. In all other respects it is in excellent condition.

Pair of Cobalt Blue Coffee Cups and Saucers - Martell Cognac

SOLD

A lovely pair of small - roughly demitasse sized - heavy porcelain coffee cups and saucers in deep cobalt blue with gold edging and bright white on the inside. Both cup and saucer are marked with the Martell Cognac name and logo on their undersides. There's no maker's name but they are very reminiscent of a range by Apilco of France and I would be happy to bet that they are. The cups are in excellent condition although there are a few small marks to the surfaces of the saucers but the deep colour hides these well.

Cup: 9cm across handle x 4.5cm
Saucer: 12cm
