Williamsburg Provenance

The collection draws directly from historic 18th-century decorative arts held in the Colonial Williamsburg archives, translating museum originals into finely crafted, collectible porcelains. Italian-made examples from the 1990s era, like this pair, are sought after for their artistry and high-quality production.
