This porcelain demitasse cup and saucer were made by Delinieres & Company of Limoges, France. Both pieces are marked D & Co on the base, a mark used prior to 1890. The cup measures approximately 2 1/8" tall and 2" wide, not including the handle. It holds a bit over 2 ounces. The saucer measures about 4 1/8" in diameter. They are white porcelain with hand painted purple flowers, green leaves, and gold gilded accents. The shape of the footed cup is very unique, the handle is so thin and delicate, with a slight curve. The back of the cup has embossed flowers and leaves. The set is in great condition with no chips, cracks, or damage, and light wear. The company was started in 1863 by Remi Delinieres. In 1895 Leonard Bernardaud became a partner, and took over completely in 1900. I believe Bernardaud and Co is still operating today.
