Description from the seller

Elegant Mid-Century French Porcelain Condiment Set by R. Montigny & Cie (Limoges)An exquisite and rare vintage presentation set featuring a pair of open salt/pepper cellars (salerons) with their matching serving spoons, beautifully preserved in the original satin and velvet-lined presentation box.
Crafted in France during the 1950s–1960s, these pieces showcase a highly stylized, whimsical Art Deco/Mid-Century Modern design representing stylized swans or waterfowl. The main bodies are entirely dipped in a brilliant, lustrous 22-karat gold gilt finish, sharply contrasted by matte emerald-green structural accents forming the tails/wings.
Key Features:
Authenticity: Both pieces bear the characteristic hand-painted "Limoges" script backstamp on the unglazed base ring.
Completeness: Highly collectible due to the rare presence of both original matching gold-toned mini spoons safely secured in their structural fabric loops.
Presentation: Housed in its original textured dark case with a clean cream-colored satin lid liner and plush velvet base.
A sophisticated addition to a gourmet dining table, a gorgeous display piece for collectors of fine French porcelain, or a unique luxury vintage gift.Condition ReportPorcelain & Gilding: The 22k gold gilding retains a beautiful, high-gloss shine. Minimal to no rub wear or surface scratches. No chips, cracks, or restorations.
Spoons: Both spoons are fully functional and in great shape.
Box: The protective case opens and closes securely. The interior satin liner is beautifully intact with only minor age-related vintage patina.
