A piece from the Sèvres National Porcelain Factory of France, known as the "phantom porcelain," dating back to 1917. There are multiple small scratches on the gold trim of the cup. I believe there are no noticeable scratches or stains. Please be aware that there may be small scratches as this item is 100 years old. The gold gilding shines beautifully against the characteristic fat blue color. About Sèvres Production is limited to create the finest works, and most are made for the French state, so they are rarely available to the general public. ◆Brand/Series◆ SEVRES Sèvres Blue Lapis Gold Gilding Cup & Saucer Box, Stand ◆Size (approximate)◆ Cup: Diameter 6cm, Height 5.8cm Saucer: Diameter 10.9cm ◆About the Sèvres Back Stamp Since the opening of the National Sèvres Porcelain Factory in the 18th century, marks indicating production information have been applied to the back of the works. These marks have changed over time, truly telling the story of Sèvres' history over two and a half centuries. The production information of Sèvres includes the era of molding, firing, and decoration, the type of paste, and the signatures of the craftsmen involved in the production. Symbols and crests are used, and the methods of application vary, making it generally difficult to accurately decipher. However, Sèvres has records of the historical changes and definitions of these marks, allowing one to trace the correct lineage of the works. In addition, the signatures of the molders and painters are a manifestation of Sèvres' sincere attitude towards porcelain making and can be said to be proof of the proud craftsmanship. ※This item is a used and stored item.
