Antique Bouillon Cups and Saucers, Saxe Austria, 2 Handled Cups, Teacups and Saucers, Soup Bowls with Saucers, Floral Pattern, Green Edged
A gorgeous set of four antique bouillon cups and saucers by Saxe made in Austria. The cups have two handles and each one has a matching saucer. The pattern is in a colorful floral with a green edge on the cups and the saucers. These cups are used when a hostess wants to serve something more filling than just tea and yet not a thick soup. A perfect way to start a meal. This would be wonderful set on you dining room table.
These cups and saucers are very thin and delicate.
ETIQUETTE:
Bouillon is drunk entirely from the cup or sipped from a spoon, one or the other but never both (that's bad table manners!). To test the temperature, a single sip is taken from the spoon. When bouillon is drunk from the cup, the cup is held by one or both of the open-loop handles, whichever is more comfortable.
Size;
Cup:
2 1/4 inches in height
3 3/4 inches in diameter
Saucer:
5 3/4 inches in diameter
This antique set is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. A perfect set to entertain guests or to treat yourself like a king.
