Handsome set of six Limoges cider or lemonade cups. Each of the six cider cups in this outstanding set is hand painted in a different fruit motif, including blackberries, raspberries, cherries, gooseberries, and red and purple grapes. Background colors on each of the cups are a rich rusty brown, mauve, pale blue, lavender, and green. The narrow band of gold gilding on the rim of each cup is in excellent condition. The very talented artist, E. B. Marriott, has signed or initialed each cup on its bottom. Each cup is marked with the William Guerin underglaze white ware mark in green, circa 1900-1932. The cups measure 4" tall and have a 2 ¾" mouth opening. With no chips, cracks, or repairs, this colorful set of cider cups is in excellent condition. |
