An attractive antique Old Paris porcelain tea service comprising four pieces: teapot, covered sugar bowl, milk jug and bonbon dish. Made during the Louis-Philippe I period, the service shows the revival of rocaille-inspired forms typical of Paris porcelain in the 1840s.
Decorated with a turquoise ground and floral panels associated with the Jacob Petit circle, the service is enhanced by fine gilding and light ornamental scrollwork. The decoration is balanced and well proportioned across all pieces.
All four pieces belong to the same matching set and form a coherent decorative ensemble.
A small underglaze pseudo-Sčvres stroke is present on the bases, used by Paris workshops as a quality indicator.

Condition:
Excellent antique condition throughout. The teapot, sugar bowl and bonbon dish show full preservation of enamel painting and gilding, with no cracks or restorations. The milk jug has a small, barely visible internal firing line; it is not visible externally. Gilding, including the delicate decoration on the spout, is exceptionally well preserved. The service appears to have been very little used.
