Polychrome Floral Pot de Creme #3

This is a nice pot de creme or pot au jus made by Royal Vienna in the 18th century before (but not much) 1783. The little lidded cup would have been used either for hot chocolate or a meat broth . Both the main cup and lid have a nice relief design to the paste and are hand painted with some nice flowers - two large arrangements to the cup as well as a single smaller flower and two smaller flowers to the lid. Nice floral finial to the lid with its stem and two leaves. The set is in decent condition with some chipping to the petals of the finial but not too bad, the stem of the finial is missing a section and two thin chips to the outside top edge of the cup from which a tight hard to spot hairline goes into the body. The set displays very well and is quite cute. The cup with the lid in place is 2.875 inches tall and 2.25 inches in diameter. The underside of the cup is marked with the under glaze blue beehive / shield mark as well as a puce 27 as the painter's mark , an impressed i and another impressed mark that looks like a line done after the glaze was added. Please email me for more information or photos.
