An exceptional and highly refined French coffee service, crafted in fine porcelain and delicately hand-painted, dating from the second half of the 19th century (circa 1850–1900). Executed in the elegant Louis XVI style, this service reflects the timeless balance, symmetry, and decorative restraint characteristic of French classical taste. The porcelain is enriched with hand-painted floral motifs in soft pink tones, harmoniously framed by a green band and fine gold gilt detailing, all applied with remarkable precision. The gilding remains vivid and well preserved, enhancing the overall elegance of the ensemble. Marks Each piece bears an underglaze incised mark “L. S.”, accompanied by the incised number “125” beneath the glaze. These marks are integrated into the porcelain body prior to glazing, consistent with 19th-century French workshop production and indicative of controlled atelier manufacture rather than later decoration.
