c1915 W. GUERIN JP LIMOGES POUYAT CHOCOLATE CUP & SAUCER, PINK ROSES, GUE32

Description: Maker: One of the great porcelain manufacturers at the turn of the last century, William Guerin (W.G. & Co.) produced exquisite wares in Limoges and its history reflects that high quality. Guerin was initially a standalone company but merged with the iconic firm Jean Pouyat just before World War 1. Shortly after the war ended, the combined company became part of the renowned Limoges firm Bawo & Dotter (Elite Works), which continued to use the Guerin mark. Source: third edition of the Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frances Gaston. Age: This pretty chocolate cup and saucer set has the Guerin gold overglaze decorator's mark number 4 that was in use from the late 1800s to 1932, and a green Pouyat JP Limoges white ware mark number 5 that was in use from 1900 to 1932. That suggests that it was produced in the years just before World War 1. Design: It's in the pattern replacements.com calls GUE32, with a band of delicate pink roses and green semi-circles. Size: The cup is 2 1/8 inches wide and 3 inches tall. The saucer is 5 1/8 inches wide. Together they weigh 6 ounces. Condition: The set is in excellent condition, especially considering its age and fragile material. There are no nicks, chips, cracks, stains, repairs or crazing. This lovely set would make a beautiful display item on its own or as part of any collection of fine porcelain. Please check all the photos very carefully - they are an important part of the description.
