Haviland - Impératrice Eugenie - Small Coffee Service

The designer Léonce Ribière created a decoration for Empress Eugénie that is now in the Haviland Porcelain Museum in Limoges. Lassère, his student, took up this model, and it was from this that Haviland created the Empress Eugénie decoration offered today in 1967. This decoration is in the Napoleon III style to which Empress Eugénie contributed greatly. It is decorated with numerous violets. In the language of flowers, the latter represent shyness, modesty and modesty by allusion to the small corolla that seems hesitant to come out of its case of leaves.
