Complete service in its original case, of twelve Sèvres porcelain tea cups and saucers. On this lapis blue or Sèvres blue background, they are enriched with generously festooned cartouches of plumed volutes, rocaille, set with gold and turquoise blue; they form animated scenes of cherubs playing in their cloudy and colorful universe.
