Did You Know?

The use of knobs in the form of trumpet-shaped blossoms is characteristic of porcelain produced at the Chantilly factory.

Description

This tea service, composed of a teapot, a sugar bowl, two cups, and a tray, is decorated with brightly colored polychrome floral motifs on a milky-white background typical of the Japanese Kakiemon style. The body of the teapot recalls Chinese or Japanese gourd or melon forms while the tray and cups pull inspiration from European silver models.
