Cup and Saucer
Description
Cup and saucer, French Empire style, hand-painted decorations and gilding; hard paste porcelain; saucer has been broken and repaired.
From Burke Hodgson:
"I don't know anything about this cup and saucer and thought it was a useless knick-knack until Jim Carter informed me otherwise. Its so valuable it has to have been a present to my mother from my Aunt Nita and Uncle Bert. It has no connection to the Lyndon House."
