Limoges tea service Bernardaud Saint-Saëns

Limoges porcelain tea service published by Bernardaud, model “Saint-Saëns”. Set composed of: 6 tea cups. 6 matching saucers. Blue-toned floral decoration inspired by vine tendrils and stylised foliage, printed with great finesse on glossy white porcelain. The relief of the model is one of the most interesting elements of this collection: The porcelain features a textured design imitating caning or woven wicker, visible in low light on the cups and saucers. This textural work adds depth and sophistication without weighing down the overall line. The slightly undulating shape of the saucers enhances the organic elegance of the set.
