A distinguished set of six double-handled bouillon cups and five matching saucers in fine white Limoges porcelain, bearing the dual marks of two of the Gilded Age's most prestigious names: T&V Limoges France (Tressemanes & Vogt, makers) and Ovington Bros., New York (Fifth Avenue retailer to New York's finest households).

The raised gold decoration is exceptional "” laurel wreath medallions at center, trailing foliate swags across the exterior walls, and a refined beaded gold rim band. The scalloped saucers carry a matching gold border of considerable weight and artistry. The double-handled bouillon form, used for elegant between-course service at formal dinners, is rarer than standard cups and speaks directly to the entertaining culture of Gilded Age New York.
