This refined tête-à-tête tea service in the finest Capodimonte porcelain represents a magnificent expression of great Italian ceramic craftsmanship, ideal for enhancing elegant display cases or as a truly prestigious gift.

Subject and Style: The design, with its distinctly classical feel, is a triumph of sculptural detail. The cups and sugar bowl are finely embossed and painted with graceful scenes of cherubs, while elegant handles in the shape of fantastical creatures and a lion sculpted in the round (which serves as the sugar bowl's knob) enrich the form. The large serving tray balances the composition with a white base enlivened by a delicate floral bouquet.

Material and Finish: The entire set is masterfully crafted from fine Capodimonte porcelain. The vivid hand-painted polychrome is gloriously enhanced by a rich, polished gold finish that completely covers the inside of the cups, the edges of the tray, and the refined relief details. The historic crowned mark of the Italian manufacturer "Capodimonte" is stamped under the base.
