Exquisite Decorative Set of 5 CHOCOLATE CUPS & SAUCERS. DESCRIPTION: The beautiful hand decorated chocolate cup & saucer set was produced in with beautiful large flower sprays of white azalea flowers with leaves & buds. The design looks so classic. The floral sprays are on white with the interior of the cup as well as the well of the saucer being white. The fancy thumb rest handle is trimmed in gold as are the rims.

Both the cup and saucer are scalloped and embossed. Notice the art deco design of the handle and the interesting bulge just below the rim of the cup. This makes a beautiful display set or can be used everyday. We have another cup & saucer that matches this set in another listing. We did not include it in this listing because the saucer has small flake on the saucer rim.

CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines. There are no utensil marks & no wear to the gold on the handles or rims. DIMENSIONS: The cups have a diameter of 2" with a height of 3 1/4". The capacity of the cups is 3 ounces. The saucers have a diameter of 4 5/8" and height of 5/8". These are delicate, weighing only 4.2 ounces per set. HISTORY/MARKS: The "RS" initials stand for Reinhold Schlegelmilch, founder of the porcelain factory specializing in hard paste porcelain at Suhl in Prussia which is present-day Germany. The work of his two sons, Arnold and Erhard, made the mark bearing his initials famous. Arnold operated the Suhl factory while Erhard established a porcelain factory in Tillowitz, Germany in 1894. Arnold closed the porcelain factory in Suhl in December 1917, due to World War I and a shortage of people skilled in the making of such hard paste porcelain. He joined Erhard at the Tillowitz factory which operated as part of Reinhold Schlegelmilch Enterprise until the death in 1934 of both brothers. The factory in Tillowitz remained opened under Schlegelmilch control (under sons of Arnold and finally Arnold's granddaughter) until 1945 when it came under the administration of Poland after WWII. This is mark #9 in Collector's Encyclopedia of R.

Prussia, 4th edition by Mary Frank Gaston. The saucers also have the retailer/importer mark for MW & Co. Which is Mitchell, Woodbury & Co. However, the style is that of the teens-twenties. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.

The stand was used as a photo prop and is not part of this listing. See additional international policies below.
