Description: Limoges PM de M Old Abbey Set 4 Chocolate Cups & 6 Saucers Pink Gold 1908-1913 A beautiful Set of CHOCOLATE 4 CUPS & 6 SAUCERS manufactured by PM de M (Mavaleix) & decorated by OLD ABBEY (Latrille Freres) from Limoges, France w/GOLD Daubs & PINK ROSES, circa 1908-1913 Paul Maurice Mavaleix worked with Henri Balleroy and Mandavy from 1901-1908. At some point in 1908, he established his own porcelain manufacturing pottery, PM de M, in Limoges, France. After World War I and about 1920, J. Granger became a partner and the name changed to Mavaleix Granger for 1922-1938. The PM de M mark is frequently misread as BM de M due to the script used. In Mary Frank Gaston’s Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition, this mark on the saucers is mark #1 and was used 1908-1914. The white wares were decorated by other factories or studios (according to Mary Frank Gaston) and no overglaze decorator mark has been attributed to PM de M. This set of chocolate cups & saucers has an overglaze decorating mark of Old Abbey. Latrille Freres was founded in 1899 by the father of the Latrille brothers and was located in an old abbey which was converted to a porcelain manufacturing facility. J. Granger is noted to have been associated with the company from 1908-1913. The mark on the chocolate cups is Mary Frank Gaston’s mark #3 as an overglaze decorating mark in green. This mark was used from 1908-1913. The condition of this set is excellent with the exception of one cup which has a tiny, smooth nick at its rim. See photo #8 for a close-up. Every photo with only 1 cup & saucer is of this cup. We can find no defects or other damage. There are no chips, other nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines. The gold shows no wear. It really appears to be in excellent condition and is clean. The 6 saucers have a diameter of 4 15/16" and stand 5/8" tall. The height of the 4 cups is 2 7/8" while their diameter is 2 3/8". The stand was used as a photographic prop and is not part of this listing. These dainty pieces are particularly beautiful. When you look very closely, you realize how the delicate scalloping and embossing adds to the overall effect.. The 3 florals on the saucers are loosely separated by the 3 gold daubs on the rim while the cups have 4 daubs. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description. The stand was used as a photo prop and is not part of this listing.
