A delicate set of six Haviland Limoges porcelain demitasse cups and matching saucers, made in France and decorated with soft pink floral sprays, pale green foliage, and refined gilt accents. Each cup has a graceful small-scale form with a curved handle finished in gold, paired with a scalloped saucer that echoes the same romantic floral decoration. The porcelain body is luminous white, giving the soft rose and green pattern a light, elegant, and distinctly French presence. This set is designed for demitasse service, espresso, after-dinner coffee, tea, or decorative display. The smaller scale gives the pieces a refined table quality, ideal for formal coffee service, dessert courses, afternoon tea, or a collected cabinet arrangement. The floral decoration feels romantic without being heavy, and the gilt detail adds just enough refinement to make the set feel special. Haviland Limoges is one of the most recognized names in French porcelain, admired for its fine white porcelain body, delicate decoration, and long association with elegant domestic entertaining. This set reflects that tradition beautifully, with graceful proportions, soft floral ornament, and the quiet sophistication associated with early twentieth-century Limoges tableware. This offering is for six demitasse cups and six matching saucers only. Spoons are not included. The set displays beautifully on open shelving, in a china cabinet, on a tea table, or layered with silver plate, linen, crystal, floral porcelain, and other collected French tableware. Presented in antique to early vintage condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to porcelain tableware of this period, including possible minor gilt wear and natural surface marks from use.

Each cup has a graceful rounded form with a simple handle accented in gold, paired with a matching scalloped saucer featuring the elegant molded rim associated with the Ranson blank. The Ranson pattern is one of the most recognizable Haviland Limoges forms, admired for its quiet elegance, sculptural edge, and timeless simplicity.

An exceptional and remarkably preserved 24-piece crystal glass service by Christofle Paris, presented in its original Christofle boxes and comprising a complete table setting for six. The service combines two distinguished Christofle crystal collections: the sculptural Osiris stemware and the complementary Cluny Old-Fashioned glasses. Created by designer Bernard Yot, the Osiris collection was introduced by Christofle in 1991, drawing its inspiration from the aquatic and botanical world of ancient Egypt. Its distinctive decoration evokes the forms of lotus flowers and papyrus reeds, translated here into an elegant cut-crystal motif rising from the base of each bowl. The Osiris crystal pattern was produced during the period 1999–2005. The service includes three graduated Osiris stemware forms — water, red wine and white wine — creating a beautifully balanced formal table setting. Each glass retains its original Christofle label, an especially desirable detail for collectors and a clear indication that the service has never been used. Completing the ensemble are six Christofle Cluny...

Few 19th-century French faience services embody the elegance, artistic refinement and poetic spirit of the Japonisme movement as beautifully as Jules Vieillard Bordeaux’s celebrated “Nella” pattern. More than a dinner service, this remarkable ensemble is a hand-painted work of art, where every piece celebrates nature through an extraordinary variety of exotic birds, flowering branches, butterflies and delicate insects. No two plates are exactly alike, making each place setting a unique composition while preserving the perfect harmony of the whole. Founded in Bordeaux in 1845, the Jules Vieillard manufactory became one of France’s most prestigious ceramic producers. By the 1870s it employed nearly 1,300 craftsmen, ranking among the country’s leading faience manufacturers. Its artistic creations were celebrated at the great international exhibitions of the nineteenth century, including the Gold Medal awarded at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1878, a distinction that firmly established the international reputation of the Bordeaux factory. Created during this golden period, the “Nella” pattern is now regarded as one of the manufactory’s finest and rarest achievements. Inspired by the discovery of Japanese art in Europe during the second half of the nineteenth century, it perfectly reflects the new decorative language that transformed European ceramics. Every piece was individually moulded in fine faience, fired, then meticulously hand-painted by master decorators using coloured enamels before receiving its final transparent glaze and being fired once again. This demanding process ensured exceptional brilliance while allowing each painter complete artistic freedom. Rather than reproducing a single repetitive design, every plate was intentionally decorated with its own individual composition. Kingfishers, parrots and other exotic birds rest upon blossoming branches of prunus, peonies, irises and wild roses. Butterflies, dragonflies and tiny ladybirds animate the white ground with remarkable delicacy, creating the impression of a living garden. The asymmetrical compositions, generous areas of untouched white and graceful movement throughout the decoration perfectly express the refined aesthetic of French Japonisme. Complete “Nella” services have become extraordinarily scarce. Intended for everyday use within distinguished households, most examples were gradually dispersed or damaged over nearly one hundred and fifty years. Today, large coherent ensembles with their original serving pieces seldom appear on the international market. According to family history, this exceptional service remained for generations in an elegant maison de maître on the French Riviera before entering the antiques market. Unlike most surviving examples, which are composed predominantly of plates, this magnificent ensemble retains an unusually rich selection of original serving pieces together with its complete coffee service, making it equally desirable for collectors, designers and prestigious private residences. Composition — 83 Pieces * 27 Dinner Plates – Ø 25 cm (9.84 in) * 14 Soup Plates – Ø 25.5 cm (10.04 in) * 16 Dessert Plates – Ø 22.5 cm (8.86 in) * 1 Covered Soup Tureen * 2 Covered Vegetable Tureens * 1 Covered Serving Dish * 2 Large Oval Serving Platters * 1 Large Fish Platter * 1 Shell-Shaped Compotier * 2 Covered Sauce Boats with Attached Stands * 1 Covered Mustard Pot * 1 Coffee Pot * 1 Covered Sugar Bowl * 1 Milk Jug * 10 Coffee Cups * 11 Coffee Saucers Every piece bears the JVB factory mark beneath, while the principal serving pieces are additionally marked “Nella”, confirming the authenticity of this prestigious model. The overall condition is exceptional considering its age of approximately 150 years. The enamels retain remarkable freshness and brilliance, while the glaze remains beautifully preserved. Minor imperfections are limited to a few discreet hairlines, one deep serving dish displaying slight age-related darkening, one coffee saucer with noticeable staining and the expected traces of careful domestic use accumulated over generations. These small imperfections are entirely consistent with the age of the service and do not detract from its extraordinary visual impact. More than simply an antique dinner service...
