The lid features a similarly decorated finial, and the base is molded with a scalloped edge. The underside is marked with a green script "G.D.A. LIMOGES FRANCE" and a red circular mark within a wreath, stating "GDA LIMOGES FRANCE HAND DECORATED." The five accompanying mugs are of cylindrical form with scrolled gilt handles, bearing the same pink and green floral decoration. Each mug is marked on its base with a red script: "Theodore Haviland LIMOGES FRANCE Patent applied for, " dating them to circa 1903.
