Limoges Guerin 5 Trios Cups Saucers Desserts Artist Maher Pink Florals 1900-1932

  
Elegant Decorative Set of 5 TRIOS W/MATCHING HAND PAINTED CUPS, SAUCERS & DESSERT PLATES from William Guerin & Co. DESCRIPTION: The artist, Maher, was very talented with wonderfully realistic pink & white florals nestled among the green leaves. Each trio has a matching cup, saucer and dessert plate. Each trio has a different floral painting that coordinates with the others.

The flower is repeated inside of each cup. The sturdy handle is smooth and painted with a bright gold paint.

The cups & saucers have a smooth rim while the dessert plates are scalloped. The artist did a wonderful job on designing this set and executing the paintings. CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. We find no nicks, chips, scratches, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. There appears to be absolutely no wear to the colors or the gold and no crazing.

Look in the photos to see this. The lack of utensil scratches on the set attests to the high quality of the porcelain china. DIMENSIONS: The cups have a diameter of 3 1/2" and a height of 2 1/8" with a capacity of 6 ounces. The saucers have a diameter of 5 1/2" and a height of 3/4". The dessert plates have a diameter of 6 3/8" and a height of 7/8".
