Beautiful authentic Meissen porcelain bouillon cup and saucer set in the desirable “Blue Orchid with Insects” pattern. This elegant three-piece set includes the two-handled bouillon cup, pierced reticulated trembleuse insert, and matching saucer — all hand-painted in deep cobalt blue underglaze.

The underside of each piece bears the Meissen crossed swords mark along with impressed mold numbers, confirming authenticity.
