This is a French Limoges hard paste porcelain (fine china) dessert set. The maker is Delinieres & Co. The date is circa 1894 to 1900, 19th century.
The set has four cups and saucers, 6 dessert plates, one cake plate or platter, and one tea bowl.
The cake plate platter is 10 ¼” by 9 ¾”. The dessert plates are 6 ½”. The tea bowl is 2 ¼” by 6”. The saucers are 5 ½”. The cups are 2 ½” by 2 ¾” and may be the size of demitasse cups.
The blank has raised designs in the porcelain, scroll-like. The glaze or ground shades from cream to peach-orange. If you love thistles, these thistles are quite pretty, a peach-orange with yellow middles on green stems and leaves, with some pale blue-gray background foliage. There is hand applied in raised gold enamel more stems and leaves. The pattern repeats inside the cups and inside the bowl. The handles are trimmed in gold, with more gold brushed on at intervals around the edges. The end tabs of the cake plate are painted in gold too.
The tea bowl, or small serving bowl, has a small nick on the edge. There is a little bit of gold wear. There are no other nicks, chips, cracks or crazing. There are probably some glaze marks due to the manufacturing process.
The green underglaze mark is D&Co underscored by France. The red overglaze factory decorating mark is in script, R. Delinieres & Co Limoges France. There is also handwritten in red a letter and number combination, probably for the pattern and gilder.
