NOTES BY CLEO M. AND G. RYLAND SCOTT, JR IN THE LATE 1950’S

This cup and saucer was purchased in this country at an antique show in Miami. It has on the bottom a paper waifer showing it was from a French collection. The design is the raised prunus so much copied by all European factories from the Chinese "Blanc de Chine." The saucer is of the "Trembluese" design. The cup has a handle and the porcelain is the "Ivory" color or “amber”
