"Paris Porcelain Circa 1820: Coffee Service Painted With Scenes From The Roman Countryside "

The Grand tour is a cultural institution in full development at the beginning of the 19th century, precursor of our modern tourism. Making the wonder experienced during this journey last can be achieved by the collection of objects evoking it. This large Paris porcelain coffee service continues this dream by showing a painted decor evoking a fantasy Roman countryside, where walkers enjoy its foliage. Each piece, each saucer, each lid is painted with greenery, majestic trees, rustic buildings. Each decoration is different and made with virtuosity. The service includes a large coffee pot, a small coffee pot, a sugar bowl, and a milk jug as well as ten antique cups. Only one cup has a chip on the foot, all the other pieces are in perfect condition, both the gilding and the paintings.
