Tea/coffee set
Painted and gilded hard porcelain
Gold mark on the underside of the cups, milk jug and coffee pot
Paris, circa 1810 - 1820

A rich service comprising four cups and saucers, a sugar bowl, a milk jug and a coffee pot. The cups have scrolled handles and palmettes, the sugar bowl is particularly fine with swan neck handles, while the top handles are pine cone shaped. Rare purplish background and gilding band with delicate friezes in matte and burnished. This model has a gold base and is therefore of superior quality. This colour is typical of the early 19th century, yet it is rarely seen...
