Haviland Limoges Butterfly Handled Cup and saucer set, 1879-1889, Aesthetic
About the Item
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: Age of Elegance by N. Travis; in Evolution of Haviland China design another version of this pattern, utilizing both birds and butterflies instead of just the butterflies, similar flower sprays, and orange and grey medallions, is attributed to Felix Bracquemond. China decorators of 1870-1880 were using the same transfers for what we now call Meadow Visitors patterns with remarkable degree of freedom in combining and applying elements of various then-current patterns, resulting in endless variations on the theme and adding uniqueness to each hand-decorated piece.
The set is in great antique condition with slight loss of gold on bottom cup rim and center of saucer.
