Hand-decorated in cobalt blue and burnished gold, the set reflects the empire revival taste of the belle époque, enriched by the art nouveau curves of its elegant cup and handle forms.

retailed in collaboration by h. G. Stephenson, manchester, this ensemble exemplifies the fusion of neoclassical grandeur and graceful modernism that defined early-20th-century french design. The fluid contours, fluted body, and gilding evoke the refinement of limoges porcelain at its height — a period when haviland’s artistry was sought after by both french and english luxury retailers.

comprising five cups and saucers, a lidded coffee pot, creamer, and sugar bowl, this complete service remains in excellent antique condition, its gilt and cobalt detailing retaining superb lustre. A sophisticated addition to any porcelain collection or belle époque-inspired interior.
