CA Charles Ahrenfeldt Limoges 4 Cups & Saucers 1894-1910 Encrusted Gold on White

  
DESCRIPTION: This is such an elegant set. Both the cup & saucer has the encrusted gold next to the rim with gold trim on the handle, foot of the cup and verge of the saucer. The gold trim on the white porcelain look so classy. The cup's handles are painted solid gold. CONDITION: The condition of this set is superb. We can find no defects or damage. There is very slight gold wear on the bottom of the handles caused by stacking.

There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches, or hairlines. The gold appears to be perfect except as previously noted.

Please inspect the photos carefully and you will see just how good the gold is overall. DIMENSIONS: The cups have a diameter of 4 1/4"and a height of 2 1/4" and a capacity of 8 ounces. The saucer has a diameter of 6 1/8" and a height of 11/16". HISTORY/MARKS: Though Charles Ahrenfeldt (1807-94) was born in Lubeck, Germany, he began importing porcelain into New York City in 1831 to his business located on Park Row. He was most likely the first importer of Bohemian porcelain into the US. During the 1840's he moved to Paris where he had a decorating studio. Between 1859 and the late 1860's he opened an exporting firm in Limoges and developed a wide export market, especially to North America. Around 1884 he also started decorating porcelain in Limoges. In 1896 he built a porcelain factory in the Montjovis district of Limoges. The son and his business partner, M. Doering, both relocated to Europe in late 1909. The term depose' indicates this was for export trade especially in late 1890's. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
