Origin: France
Material: Fine Limoges white porcelain with hand-painted 24K gold accents

This is a limited-edition set of book-shaped porcelain decanters created specifically for the Camus Cognac brand.
Produced to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Emperor Napoleon I (1769–1969), these decanters are crafted from fine Limoges porcelain, renowned for its exceptional French craftsmanship.
Each decanter is designed to resemble a hardcover book and features a portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte on the front: one depicts a bust of Napoleon in military uniform, while the other shows the Emperor in a full-length standing pose. The surface is adorned with hand-painted 24K gold details, including a crown motif, laurel wreath, Imperial Eagle emblem, gilded lettering, and a chain-link border; the spine features a dark green glazed band that mimics the texture of bookbinding.
Condition:
Both decanters are missing their original stoppers. The porcelain bodies are free of major cracks, chips, or severe damage, showing only minor signs of age consistent with vintage collectibles.
These iconic Camus Limoges book-shaped decanters are highly sought-after by Cognac collectors and make an excellent addition to collections of fine spirits, vintage French porcelain, or Napoleon-themed antiques.
