First, please ignore that fuzzy black mark that appears in the pictures. It is NOT on the item but in my camera. If anyone can tell me how to get rid of it I would appreciate it.
Here, fresh from an estate auction, is this beautiful, fine translucent French porcelain creamer and covered sugar bowl. It was produced by C. H. Haviland, France on a GDA, Limoges France blank. Both marks are on the pieces.
They are quite collectible and usable. Just look at the dainty flowers and shape of the handles accented with gold.
There are no cracks or chips with the exception of a tiny fleabite on the inside lid of the sugar bowl as shown in pictures. Mentioned for full disclosure. There is also a sharp point on the edge of the sugar bowl handle but close inspection shows that is part of the way it was made.
The creamer is about 2 1/4" tall at the top of the spout and about 5 1/4" from the end of the handle to the tip of the spout. The sugar bowl is about 7" in length and about 4 1/2" high to the top of the lid handle.
A fine set of pieces that is sure to grace anyone's table or collection. This type of china is very strong yet delicate. Nothing like the clunky stuff made today.
Please check out all the pictures provided carefully as they are part of the description and help show the item and its condition. You are getting the items shown as shown. If you have any questions please ask. Do allow me time to respond as I am not always on the computer.
My items are from estates, auctions, consignors and other such venues. They are not new. I am very fussy about what I offer on ebay. I try to tell you all I know about an item and what I see. However, I am not an expert in anything...just someone who loves older things and history.
PayPal is accepted and I only ship to confirmed PayPal addresses within the continental United States. All shipping includes tracking and USPO insurance. I package very well. In case of damage the buyer agrees and is responsible to open the claim with the USPO for reimbursement.
Thank You!
