Description from the seller

Very elegant and decorative French liqueur or tea set (cordial or schnapps set), manufactured by L'Hirondelle, a porcelain manufacturer from Mehun-sur-Yèvre, known for its refined gift and ornamental objects in the Limoges tradition.

The set consists of a spherical decanter and seven matching liqueur cups, made in high-quality iridescent (pearl-like) porcelain, richly finished with gold accents. The decanter is decorated with a romantic classical scene in the style of Jean-Antoine Watteau. The whole rests in an original gilded metal holder, which also serves as a carrying and presentation stand. This set also includes the cork stopper.

Typical of the French Baroque revival from the mid-20th century: luxurious, elegant, and intended as a showpiece for the salon or display cabinet.

Dimensions: 31.5 x 18.5 cm
