This beautifully hand-painted piece features delicate floral sprigs, slender green garlands, and richly applied gilt accents—hallmarks of the distinguished small ateliers operating in pre-Revolutionary Paris.

The form includes a scalloped lidded tureen gracefully fitted to an attached undertray, a luxury detail found in only the finest dessert and table services of the era. The crisp white porcelain body, neoclassical lines, and soft botanical palette echo the sophisticated aesthetic favored by elite Parisian makers such as Leboeuf, Locré, and other prominent late-18th-century manufactories.

An exceptional example of early French hard-paste porcelain, ideal for collectors of Louis XVI decorative arts, Paris porcelain, and museum-quality tableware. Its scale, condition, and artistry make it a striking display piece for a dining room, vitrine, or curated collection of European ceramics. See less
