It is signed on the base. It comes with three white and gold Tressemanes and Vogt demitasse teacups and saucers that don’t exactly match. The chocolate pot has great shaping in the porcelain with a large gold handle, a half white, half gold long spout and matching lid. It is signed as shown and stamped with a patent date of 1896.

The chocolate pot measures 5.00 inches wide across the base by 3.50 inches deep. The top is 3.00 inches by 2.25 inches. The chocolate pot is 8.75 inches tall to the rim and 9.50 inches tall to the top of the handle.

Each teacup is 3.00 inches across the rim and 1.50 inches tall.

Each saucer is just over 44.75 inches wide.

The chocolate pot has gorgeous shaping at the top and bottom rims. The gold pattern on the base shows some light wear, but no missing gold. Oddly, the handle shows no signs of gold wear and there is no wear to the spout.

I do not feel that the cups match, but it was sold as a set-so I am selling it as a set. They do have matching makers marks and both are white and gold.

There are no chips, cracks, crazing, or other damage to any piece. The chocolate pot is flawless given that stamped date is over one hundred years old. See less
