I need help with an appraisal for an antique Limoges purple cup & saucer

By helémanzo, 16 May, 2023
Description

This is a lovely piece of antique porcelain made by Porcelaine de Paris. It has the maker's mark, as well as the Limoges mark underneath both the cup and the saucer. The design is in a beautiful shade of purple, and depicts a landscape on the outer wall of the cup, and flowers on the inner wall and the surface of the saucer. It has golden accents along the rim and handle, and is in perfect condition. When held up against the light, the porcelain shows transparency, which makes me believe that it is made out of bone china. The same is true for the saucer. If anyone can help me identify the period it's from and how much it might be worth, then I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance!
