Blue and Gold Demitasse Cup and Saucer
From research of the mark, this appears to be an Ackermann & Fritze cup and saucer. It's a very ornate set in cobalt blue and gold, with what appears to be a hand-painted figure on the front. The piece appears to be titled "Quellennymphe". The cup measures 2 7/8" tall by 2 1/8" diameter. The saucer is 4" in diameter. Seems in perfect condition - no cracks, scratches, or blemishes.
This was given to me by my mother who is 93. I imagine this was handed down to her by an elder relative. I am not sure the vintage of this piece, but I would imagine it is c. 1900?
