{"product_id":"rare-old-paris-tea-service-petit-style-turquoise-floral-c-1840","title":"Rare Old Paris Tea Service, Petit Style, Turquoise \u0026 Floral, c. 1840","description":"An elegant and rare antique Old Paris porcelain tea service dating to around 1840, consisting of four pieces: teapot, sugar bowl with lid, milk jug and open bonbon dish. Produced in the Louis-Philippe I period, the service shows the renewed taste for rocaille forms in mid-19th-century Paris.                                                                                                                                                                      The turquoise ground is combined with hand-painted floral panels, a decorative approach closely linked to the Jacob Petit circle. Gilded framing and soft gilt scrolls give definition without overpowering the design, resulting in a refined and decorative ensemble.                                          \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAll four pieces belong to the same matching set and display consistent decoration and form. The absence of cups does not detract from the visual harmony of the service.                                   \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA small underglaze pseudo-Sèvres stroke appears on the bases, a typical workshop quality mark used by Paris studios of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nTeapot with cover: height 16 cm; width from handle to spout 21.5 cm; depth 13 cm; weight 537 g\u003cbr\u003e\nSugar bowl with cover: height 13 cm; width 14.5 cm; depth 11.5 cm; weight 353 g\u003cbr\u003e\nMilk jug: height 9.5 cm; width 12 cm; depth 8.5 cm; weight 164 g\u003cbr\u003e\nBonbon dish: height 7 cm; diameter 12.8 cm; weight 207 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
