Table service (27) - Porcelain - Old Paris - Empire

Important Paris porcelain tea and coffee service, with painter’s marks on some pieces (butterfly and rose). The neoclassical shapes on footed bases, tall handles, animal-headed spouts, as well as the ornamental repertoire of palmettes, scrolls and gilded borders on a white ground are characteristic of the Empire period decorative vocabulary. The service comprises 27 pieces in total: - 1 large coffee pot (height 37 cm) - 1 teapot H 20 cm, rose mark; lid shows a loss and a sign of restoration - 1 milk jug H 20 cm, presents a hairline crack - 1 large sugar bowl H 18 cm, the lid presents a small ding - 1 large bowl diameter 20 cm, presents an old restoration with clamps - 11 cups H 7 cm - 11 saucers diameter 12 cm The fine gilding is generally well preserved and the service remains attractively presented despite the few flaws noted (see description and photos).
