The Edme Elegance
Crafted in Wedgwood's celebrated Edme body, this enchanting quartet showcases the timeless beauty of cream-colored Queensware that has graced the finest tables for generations. Each cup rises gracefully on a delicate footed base, displaying the characteristic Georgian fluted form that defines the Edme collection's sophisticated silhouette.
Napoleon's Legacy in Porcelain
The pattern adorning these precious pieces tells a story steeped in imperial history—the famous Napoleon Ivy design, whose delicate vine motifs first emerged around 1800. This very pattern carries the distinguished honor of having served Napoleon Bonaparte himself during his exile on the windswept island of St. Helena in 1815, following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. Each cup and saucer thus bears witness to one of history's most dramatic chapters, transforming your tea service into a conversation with the past.
