See all pics and use zoom, photos are shown in different lighting to best represent their lovely coloration
This set is quite rare and almost impossible to find in this pattern. Circa mid-late 1800s, France. A stunning duo.
Each piece has a hand painted gold gilt number on the underside: 1688 on coffee pot and 1658 on milk jug
Excellent condition, some slight wear to gold gilt trim normal for age but much of the gold still remains. Porcelain is PRISTINE absolutely no damage or flaws, no nicks chips cracks scratches crazing or fading to colors. Very glossy. Both look unused inside and out- sparkling clean. One tiny dot of gold gilt paint on coffee pot base, not damage, see last pic.
A beautiful coffee set for a collector, will look beautiful on display or in use.
