Description
White sugar bowl features gold trim around the rim, hip and foot and fluted sides with two angled, gold painted loop handles. This cup fans out at the hip and tapers toward a round foot. The bottom of the foot displays a green printed "Limoges France" undermark and a green bell with the letters T V inside it for the decorator mark. "Dulin and Martin Co" is stamped in pink script and "WASHINGTON" is printed in pink under it. Washington D.C. This teacup is part of a set of dinnerware used by Robert Todd Lincoln probably during his term as president of the Pullman Palace Car Company, 1901-1911.
