This is a Limoges demitasse cup with different patterns on the front and back. The deep magenta color is beautiful (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎) The gold trim has some blackening, but it's still in beautiful condition! I received this as a gift, so I don't know much about it. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions (。・ω・。)
