About the Item

This superb set of four demitasse cups and saucers is an exceptional example of the refined and richly decorative work produced by Samson, Paris, in the late 19th century. Each cup features a different color palette—turquoise, rose, teal, and blue—yet all display the same exuberant hand-painted decoration for which Samson is celebrated. The vibrant polychrome motifs combine scrolling acanthus leaves, delicate floral garlands, and subtle chinoiserie accents, echoing the great European porcelain traditions that Samson often reinterpreted with remarkable finesse. The saucers mirror the elegance of the cups, with beautifully balanced compositions and crisp detailing enhanced by deep, saturated colors. Together, the four sets create a harmonious yet delightfully varied ensemble, perfect for collectors of fine French porcelain or lovers of refined decorative tableware. Crafted around 1880–1900, these pieces exemplify Samson’s ability to blend historical inspiration with distinctive Parisian artistry.

Haviland Limoges Porcelain Demitasse Cups and Saucers, Set of 6

Haviland Limoges Porcelain Demitasse Cups and Saucers, Set of 6

Located in Coral Gables, FL

A delicate set of six Haviland Limoges porcelain demitasse cups and matching saucers, made in France and decorated with soft pink floral sprays, pale green foliage, and refined gilt accents. Each cup has a graceful small-scale form with a curved handle finished in gold, paired with a scalloped saucer that echoes the same romantic floral decoration. The porcelain body is luminous white, giving the soft rose and green pattern a light, elegant, and distinctly French presence. This set is designed for demitasse service, espresso, after-dinner coffee, tea, or decorative display. The smaller scale gives the pieces a refined table quality, ideal for formal coffee service, dessert courses, afternoon tea, or a collected cabinet arrangement. The floral decoration feels romantic without being heavy, and the gilt detail adds just enough refinement to make the set feel special. Haviland Limoges is one of the most recognized names in French porcelain, admired for its fine white porcelain body, delicate decoration, and long association with elegant domestic entertaining. This set reflects that tradition beautifully, with graceful proportions, soft floral ornament, and the quiet sophistication associated with early twentieth-century Limoges tableware. This offering is for six demitasse cups and six matching saucers only. Spoons are not included. The set displays beautifully on open shelving, in a china cabinet, on a tea table, or layered with silver plate, linen, crystal, floral porcelain, and other collected French tableware. Presented in antique to early vintage condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to porcelain tableware of this period, including possible minor gilt wear and natural surface marks from use. A lovely and collectible Haviland Limoges demitasse...
