About the Item

Tea service composed of six cups in fine Indochinese porcelain. The celadon-color cups are adorned with floral and bird’s motifs painted inside white-backgrounded cartouches. The handle and the base of each cup are removable and made of silver-plated metal, drilled and engraved with plant motifs. The octagonal saucers are in silver-plated metal and apertured on the wings. The set is accompanied by six spoons in silvered metal engraved and presented in its original box. Indochinese work realized in the 1920's. Dimensions: H 12 x W 40 x D 28 cm. Celadon designates both a color and a type of ceramic specific to China and the Far East. "Celadon Green": it's a color name designating a shade of green. Celadon is particularly appreciated in Asia, because it allows to obtain the color of jade, the sacred stone. The name celadon is today almost always associated with porcelain, usually Chinese. In French, the origin of the word comes from Honoré d'Urfé's novel L'Astrée (17th century), one of whose characters, Céladon, a shepherd, wears green ribbons.
