Description: | Cup and saucer, c.1860 Hard-paste porcelain, enamel and gold French This cup and saucer, with the imperial coat of arms surrounded by gold bees, is a fake. The decoration, associated with Napoleon, features on both the cup and the saucer. Both are marked 'M Imp/le' and 'de Sevres' with a date mark for 1804. The rise of the legend of Napoleon, particularly during the mid 19th century, fuelled an increase in demand in Napoleonic memorabilia, and fakes and forgeries were created to supply the demand. Height of cup: 6.5 cm; Diameter of saucer: 13 cm.
