This exquisite antique cup and saucer set is a fine example of French porcelain from Elite Limoges. The set features a delicate scalloped rim on both the cup and saucer, accented with a soft seafoam green gradient and elegant gold gilt trim. Both pieces are decorated with vibrant, hand-painted floral bouquets in shades of pink, yellow, and white. The cup is designed with an ornate, scrolled handle that further emphasizes the Victorian-era aesthetic. Bearing the red Elite Limoges France backstamp, this set represents the high-quality craftsmanship of the Bawo & Dotter factory in Limoges, France, known for producing premier decorative porcelain for the international market.

Condition Report
The set is in good antique condition. There are no chips, cracks, or visible repairs to the porcelain. The hand-painted floral motifs are well-preserved and maintain their original vibrancy. Light rubbing and minor thinning of the gold gilt are present on the scalloped rims and the high points of the handle, which is typical for a piece of this age. Minor shelf wear is visible on the unglazed foot rings of both the cup and saucer.
