This cup and saucer were made during the Belle Epoque or "Beautiful Era" in France.
A silver and enamel cup and saucer feature dark reddish-brown surfaces adorned with white and gold decorations. The upright saucer showcases a deep red center encircled by white masks, scrolling vines, and golden wheat stalks. To our right, the cup rests on a silver base, its body displaying a white bearded face amid scrolling foliage and gold bands. A silver handle, sculpted as a winged figure, extends to our right.
