Antique Semi-porcelain LA FRANCAISE Large Sugar Bowl w/Lid Pastel Pink/Lavender

Description

DESCRIPTION:
I SELL ONLY WITHIN THE U.S.  NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OFFERED.
I’m offering today an antique La Francaise sugar bowl with matching lid.  This is a large semi-porcelain sugar bowl and will hold lots of sugar.  I like these larger bowls because you don't have to fill them up that often.  The cup is a bulbous shape with smaller opening flaring out to a round bottom.  Surrounding the top edge of the sugar bowl is lovely soft pastel pinkish/lavender color which fades down to white.  There are rings of acanthus leaves with delicate bows going around the circumference of the top of the bowl.  The handles have a square like shape with the same lavender/pink shading to them.  There are handles on both sides for easy sharing around the table.  The rounded lid has the same acanthus leaves with gold circling the top.  The top handle on the lid is very elegant and most detailed with gold accents.
As you turn the sugar bowl over it is hallmarked:  "La Francaise, Porcelain".  It says porcelain, but I have to believe it is semi-porcelain because of the weight of the bowl.  It is quite heavy for porcelain.
SIZE:
The sugar bowl measures approximately 3-1/4" tall with an opening of approximately 3-1/2" across.
CONDITION:
This is an older sugar bowl and does have craze lines in the semi-porcelain finish.  This is most common for older pieces like this.  It does not have any chips, cracks or breaks.  Some of the gold has faded away over the many years.  It is large and will hold lots of sugar.
Please view complete set of photos for thorough description.  I hope you can take a few minutes to look at my other dolls.  God bless you.  Connie
