Dimensions: Cup: Height: 6 cm - Length: 8.3 cm - Saucer Diam. : 13 cm,Condition(s): PERFECT CONDITION,Era: EARLY 19TH CENTURY.We occasionally encounter porcelain decorated with views of Paris, particularly in productions from the early 19th century, where monuments and urban landscapes were represented. However, the PLACE DES VOSGES is very RARELY reproduced on porcelain, unlike engraving, where it appears more frequently.This rarity is explained by several factors: if the Place des Vosges is one of the architectural jewels of the capital, its residential, regular and closed character made it less spectacular to represent than other more emblematic Parisian monuments.PAYMENT and TRANSPORTPAYMENTS ACCEPTED BANK TRANSFER / PAYPAL / BANK TRANSFER / CB online or by CHECK (Possibility of payment in installments).PARCELS WILL BE POSTED WITHIN 4 DAYS.
