Fabulous Limoges chocolate pot set with chrysanthemums. This fantastic set includes a lidded chocolate pot and five sets of matching cups and saucers. Each piece in this set is expertly hand painted with white, pink, and peach chrysanthemums. The flower petals have raised enamel highlights, giving them a very three-dimensional appearance. The set features deep, rich shades of rusty red, coral, peach, pink, white, green and gold. Vibrant gold gilding adorns the scalloped rims of the saucers and cups, as well as the upper rim, handle, and finial of the elegant chocolate pot. The gilding is in excellent condition. All pieces are marked with the Haviland & Co. underglaze white ware mark in green, circa 1888-1896. The artist's initials, J.J., appear on the bottom of each piece of the set. The graceful chocolate pot stands 10 ¼" tall to the top of the finial and measures 5 ¾" across the base. Each saucer measures 5" in diameter, and each cup stands just over 3" tall. With no chips, cracks, or restoration, this superb set is in excellent condition.
