Show and Tell Friday

I am joining Kelli over at There is no place like home for her Friday Show and Tell! I am "showing" my two Limoges cups that my maternal grandmother gave me as a wedding present 7 years ago. She had asked my mom what I might like and I said I would cherish something that had belonged to her. This is what she sent! I don't know too much about these, but doing this post has prompted me to look into their history. They have had a prominent place in my china cabinet, but I haven't used them. Maybe I will....soon! :-)
Aren't they pretty? The bottom says:
Theodore Haviland
Limoges
FRANCE
Can anyone tell me anything about them?
Thanks you for stopping by my little blog and have a blessed day!

Sorry they're out of my league but I have heard of Limoges and I imagine they are valuable. I'm not sure I'd use them.
