This elegant two-piece set features Haviland's renowned hard-paste Limoges porcelain decorated with a delicate Tea Rose floral pattern, soft pastel blossoms, and a beautifully hand-finished gold gilt handle. The underside retains the original Haviland & Co. for Wood Bicknall & Potter retailer mark, helping date the set to the late nineteenth century.

Haviland porcelain has long been admired for its exceptional craftsmanship, brilliant white porcelain body, refined translucency, and timeless floral decoration.
