About the Item

The antique set of bone china cup and saucer features scalloped or fluted edges on both cup and saucer and ornate handle; the set is decorated with detailed, botanical print or illustration style motifs of daffodil, or narcissus, flowers with long, slender leaves. The monochromatic decor in maroon or burgundy Bordeau red hue stands out against bright, clean white porcelain background; it is accented with thin gold rim. The set is marked with black underglaze backstamps on both cup and saucer and decorator mark/numbers in red overglaze on the saucer. The backstamp, Aynsley in script over Registration number in rectangular cell, dates to c. 1875, used up to 1880s; the Registration number itself, RN 56130, dates the design to 1886-1887, as the initials "Rd" or "Rd No" with a sequential number were used from 1884. Overall, the marks date the set to 1880s. The set is in good, original antique condition with age-appropriate wear on gold rim. In 1880s high-Victorian eclecticism, the prevalent English design style, combined romantic, historical, and exotic influences (Anglo-Japanese) with a growing interest in the Arts and Crafts movement. The color choice for the set follows the generally preferred palette of rich and dark colors, such as dark reds, forest greens, navy, and gold. The Aesthetic Movement, popular during this time, emphasized beauty in everyday items and streamlined the heavier, dark Victorian style with oriental influences, such as use of negative space, like in this set. Elegant, sophisticated design with strong Aesthetic Movement and Arts and Crafts influence will make the set a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interior styles, from Traditional to Victorian, Biedermeier, Chinoiserie, Transitional, Modern Heritage, Neo Deco, Art Deco, Eclectic Revival, Collected, Hollywood Regency, Glam, or Contemporary.

Haviland Limoges Butterfly Handled Cup and saucer set, 1879-1889, Aesthetic

Haviland Limoges Butterfly Handled Cup and saucer set, 1879-1889, Aesthetic

By Haviland & Co.

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

Cup and saucer set by Haviland & Cie is decorated in Aesthetic style, combining elements of 3 different patterns. Meadow Visitors butterflies, placed between Bracquemond style sprays of pink roses and blue cornflowers, are accentuated with grey and gold medallions in abstract design. The butterflies and roses are decorated with raised enamel accents, and the butterfly shaped handle is outlined with delicate gold veins, tracing the wing pattern. The cup is 2.12" tall and 3.5" wide at the rim; the saucer is 5.65" in diameter. Set uses butterfly handled blank that was in production for relatively short time; factory decorated pieces are rather rare due to limited supply and fragility of the cups. This set is marked with the blue donut-shaped decorator mark, used in 1879-1889, on both cup and saucer, and underglaze green manufacturer marks: H&C on the cup, dating it 1876-1879, and H&C/L on the saucer, dating it 1876-1889. Examples of similar decorations, utilizing abstract border designs instead of medallions on china with Meadow Visitors decor, can be seen in Haviland China...
