Maker & History
Mid-century French porcelain combined long-established tableware traditions with lighter, more decorative post-war styling. Gold-gilt details and refined cup-and-saucer sets like these belong to a period when elegant porcelain remained central to domestic entertaining and giftware in France.

Why we love it

Sourced by Valérie

I was drawn to the delicacy of the porcelain and the elegance of the decoration. There is something very distinctly French about the balance of refinement, lightness and understated ornament.
