STUNNING PICKARD HAND-PAINTED AND SIGNED DEMITASSE SET. This set has EIGHT cups and saucers. The coffee pot with lid, sugar with lid, creamer, cups and saucers are all in absolutely pristine condition with no defects of any sort. All the pieces are uniquely painted with slight variations in their designs as you would expect in pieces individually painted by an artist. All the pieces (except lids and saucers) are signed at the base on the right side of each design. With 21 pieces...that's 21 unique works of art by a known artist working for one of the finest china manufacturers. The design is a very attractive bouquet or grouping of colorful flowers. This is all on a cream colored background with gold trim on the rims and handles. The cups are 2" high and 2 3/4" across the rim. Saucers are about 4 1/2" across. The creamer and sugar (not counting the lid) are about 3" high. The coffee pot is about 8" high at the top of the handle. I found the following information on the web about E.
