We are pleased to offer this exquisite pair of Théodore Haviland litron cups, crafted in the early 20th century. Inspired by 18th-century Sèvres porcelain, these cups feature a delicate motif of roses and myrtles, reflecting the refined elegance of classic French porcelain.
Interestingly, in the 18th century, the distinction between coffee and tea cups was not clearly defined, as noted by many experts on the subject. A very similar Sèvres porcelain model from the 18th century is also available for sale in our collection.
This item is sold in pairs (2 cups and 2 saucers).
