declaration
Lefays has clarified that the 18th Century 1766 Sevres Porcelain Cup and Saucer (LA516121) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1766
condition
Cup: A tiny (2mm) faint interior vertical hairline from rim opposite the centre line of the handle (see images). A tiny indentation in the gilding on the top of the rim corresponds to this (see images). There is no colour variation under ultraviolet light, so we believe this is likely to be original. There are two small firing accretions (spots) in the interior. Saucer: A few faint surface scratches and some tiny (original) glaze pops on the exterior.
