Antique Hand-Painted European Porcelain Tea Service | Continental Europe, c. 1895–1910
A charming antique European porcelain tea service dating to the turn of the twentieth century, beautifully hand-painted with delicate pink and ivory floral bouquets and finished with richly gilded accents. Gracefully scalloped rims and softly molded forms reflect the refined craftsmanship and romantic aesthetic of the Belle Époque, making this an elegant addition to both traditional and French-inspired interiors.
The service includes a wonderful assortment of pieces for entertaining or display, featuring:
18 large tea cups
8 demitasse cups
10 saucers
11 dessert plates
Each piece is individually hand decorated, resulting in the subtle variations in brushwork and gilding that are characteristic of authentic antique porcelain. The collection has remained together and offers a beautiful opportunity to own a substantial early twentieth-century tea service.
Whether displayed in a china cabinet, used for afternoon tea, or incorporated into special celebrations, this collection brings timeless elegance and old-world charm to the table. Gentle wear to the gilt decoration and minor signs of age are consistent with antique porcelain and add to the character and authenticity of the set.
