Description

Hi! I am trying to figure out what piece of dinnerwear I have. It is a French Limoges small saucer that comes with a little dish that sort of looks like a cup, but no handles. The 'cup' actually has a shape of a top hat. That's the best I can describe it. I can't figure out what it was used for. Maybe a julien, or some kind of a dessert?

Secondly, I am trying to understand how old the piece is and it's worth.

The marks on the bottom:

first mark is green and looks like a flag: the top part says Limoges, the bottom part says France and in the middle there is a sparrow.

Second mark is a blue triangle with insignia CM in the center and on the outer corners it says Limoges, France,decor.

There is also a third one, red, obviously added later: C.A. Selzer, Cleveland Ohio

Thank you in advance!
