Description
Presenting a stunning and very rare French porcelain tea and chocolate service from circa 1820.
This set or service consists of a complete 11 place service of white and gold porcelain by Vieux Paris or more commonly known as Old Paris Porcelain.
What Truly Elevates this service is the various hand-painted scenes on each piece.

The artist is unknown.
