Bernardaud Limoges Hortense Fine 36 Piece Dinner Service Historical Chantilly XVIII Decoration

Historical Context and Origin
This exquisite dinner service comes from the renowned French traditional house Bernardaud Limoges and features the historically rich Hortense decoration. It is a detailed and masterful reproduction of a Chantilly XVIII decorative design. The original design was created in the eighteenth century at the famous Chantilly manufacture under the protection of the Prince of Condé and was world famous for its fine monochrome plant motifs in the characteristic Camail blue. Bernardaud has revived this royal heritage with an artistic wicker relief orzier relief on the curved rim of translucent high-quality hard porcelain.

Condition and Transparency
All pieces are in excellent as-new condition, showcasing quality. The porcelain has full luster and the deep blue decoration and rims show no noteworthy wear. There are no chips, cracks, flakes, or hairline cracks. All pieces are marked on the underside with the original blue Bernardaud manufacture stamp as well as the historical Chantilly additional stamp.
