Description :
A rare French porcelain coffee service, signed Théodore Haviland and retailed by Rouard Paris, capturing the elegance of late 19th century Limoges craftsmanship.
The ensemble comprises a large coffee pot, a lidded sugar bowl, and ten cups with matching saucers, all richly decorated with hand-painted floral bouquets in delicate shades of pink, purple, yellow, and green. A fine basket-weave relief enhances the porcelain surface, while pink enamel accents highlight the rims and handles, emphasizing the graceful silhouette of each piece. The compact size of the cups identifies this as a coffee service, perfectly suited for espresso or after-dinner coffee. Decorative yet functional, it embodies timeless French elegance, making it highly desirable both for collectors and for refined entertaining.
Founded in 1892, Théodore Haviland quickly became one of Limoges’ most celebrated porcelain makers, admired for artistry and quality, with exports to Europe and America. The retailer Rouard, based on Avenue de l’Opéra in Paris, was renowned for offering exclusive porcelain and decorative arts to a fashionable elite clientele. Together, their marks testify to refinement, prestige, and a distinguished Parisian provenance.
