Rare part of a coffee service in Limoges porcelain, Maison Bernardaud, model “Les Oiseaux d’Or”, 22 pieces. Model made by Jacques Bernardaud in the 1960s, to be compared to the “Les Poissons d’Or” model. In white porcelain, gold trim, each piece presents a different bird in natural gold, matte and shiny. The birds are perched on branches. A combination of gray and pale green was chosen for the representation of plant elements. It consists of 10 cups and 10 saucers, 1 coffee maker, 1 milk jug. Cup: height: 4.5 cm. diameter at the rim: 10 cm; Saucers: diameter: 14.5 cm. Coffee maker: height: 21 cm. Milkman: height: 11 cm. Good condition. Note: a hair on one of the cups (see photo), some small gaps in gilding on certain unimportant pieces. A rare model, different birds with their name below the pieces, absolute chic!!! Please note: a table service of the same model is for sale in another ad.
