Description

A fine delicate porcelain tea set comprised of 28 pieces, It encompasses a teapot , creamer , tray, sugar bowl ,twelve teacups and twelve saucers. The teapot is in the neoclassical form with a gryphon-head shaped spout that can be often found made circa 1820s-1850s along with the laurel leaf designs typical of the era. The bodies of the pieces feature a red-ground painted onto white with decorative gilding and a Napoleonic portrait featured on each. Each piece is signed underneath with the name identifying the individual’s portrait and includes: Napoleon, Josephine, various generals (only two of the cups are missing the identification). The porcelain pieces feature variations of a crowned N mark, but this is irrelevant to their identification as this is common practice for Paris porcelain pieces and similar works feature other various markings.

This tray has a number incised into the porcelain (manufacture/set number), and has a gilded.

FAQs

The French Empire style is characterised by neoclassical motifs, rich colour grounds such as deep red or cobalt blue, and extensive hand-applied gilding, often celebrating historical figures and military campaigns.

Paris porcelain workshops utilised high-fired hard-paste porcelain clay bodies, decorated with mineral-based enamel pigments and hand-applied gold leaf or liquid gold highlights fixed through multiple kiln firings.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted details with slight variations, underglaze or iron-red factory stamps, substantial weight, and wear consistent with age on the unglazed foot rings.

Displaying a complete service within a glass-fronted cabinet or on a dedicated sideboard allows the intricate painted details and metallic gilding to serve as a focal point without cluttering the space.

Antique porcelain should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers, abrasive sponges, and prolonged soaking to protect fragile enamel and gold leaf.
