Since its establishment in 1863, it has embodied the "beauty" of French culture in its tableware, from royalty and nobility to modern top-class hotels and the Louvre Museum* This piece, as indicated by the LOUVRE mark on the back, is one of the "Louvre Collection," a representative series of BERNARDAUD. It is an important element that symbolizes the official partnership with the Louvre Museum and is highly regarded as a collection that embodies the brand's spirit and culture within BERNARDAUD. The decorative porcelain is of very high quality, and the production volume is limited, making it a collectible line. This particular piece is from the early 1980s, setting it apart from recent reproductions and simplified versions. The edges of the relief are not softened, and the shadows created by the light are beautifully highlighted, a testament to BERNARDAUD's high-temperature firing and precise molding techniques. The shape features a refined form with a slightly flared rim and a stable base. The pure white porcelain surface is adorned with delicate relief decorations reminiscent of arabesques and laurels (bay leaves). The ability to create such expression with "white only" is a skill only possible with the highest quality Limoges porcelain. The handle has an elegant curve, designed to naturally fit the fingers. Despite being thin, it is strong and offers an exceptional mouthfeel. Whether it's morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a quiet evening herbal tea, it accompanies any time and brings a serene atmosphere to the table⁂ It is a piece that exudes a definite class without being overly ornate. It is a special cup & saucer that allows you to feel the French aesthetic and the accumulation of time with each use. Please enjoy it*° ⚪︎Size Cup: Diameter approx. 8cm, Height approx. 6.8cm Saucer: Diameter approx. 15.2cm, Height approx. 1.8cm ⚪︎In excellent, very beautiful condition.
