Porcelaine de Paris - Table service (2) - Porcelain

A charming antique French porcelain cream jug and sugar bowl, attributed to the Paris porcelain workshops (Porcelaine de Paris), dating to the mid-19th century, circa 1850–1875.
Executed in fine white hard-paste porcelain, the set is beautifully decorated with delicate hand-painted blue floral sprays highlighted by elegant burnished gold ornamentation. The graceful scrolling decoration, richly moulded pedestal bases, and finely shaped handles reflect the refined Rococo Revival taste that became highly fashionable in France during the Second Empire.
The softly undulating rims, sculptural modelling, and luxurious gilded details demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship associated with the celebrated Paris porcelain manufactories of the nineteenth century.
Both pieces bear an incised workman’s or decorator’s number beneath the glaze, typical of Paris porcelain production of the period.
The set remains in very good antique condition with only minor age-related wear to the gilding, consistent with careful preservation over more than 150 years.
A highly decorative ensemble, equally suitable for display, collection, or elegant table presentation.
