Antique French White & Gold Paris Porcelain Sugar Bowl (Vieux Paris) - Empire / Restoration Period, c. 1810-1830 Sèvres style, similar to the Egyptian service. An elegant and fine antique French porcelain sugar bowl (also suitable as a bonbonnière or biscuit jar), dating from the Empire to early Restoration period (circa 1810–1830). Crafted in the iconic "Vieux Paris" (Old Paris) tradition, this piece features a classical urn-shaped body made of high-quality white porcelain. It is beautifully adorned with a minimalist yet regal wide gold-gilded band around the rim and the lid. The highlights of the piece are the two meticulously detailed, relief-molded handles shaped as gilded lion masthead masks (lion heads), a signature aesthetic of the Neo-Classical and Empire style. The lid is crowned with a stylized bud/flame finial. As is highly characteristic of early 19th-century private Paris porcelain manufactories, the base is completely blank and unmarked, confirming its authentic period production rather than a later reproduction. A beautiful, timeless collector's piece that perfectly embodies classic French elegance. Photos are part of the description. This item will be carefully packed, with lots of protective material and in a sturdy shipping box. Shipping with insurance and tracking code.
