A full tea service changes the whole feeling of a table. This antique French Limoges tea service by Bernardaud has that crisp, elegant presence. Anyone would love to be served from this neoclassical - Empire revival set where the white porcelain, fine gold lines and graceful handles set the stage for a lovely afternoon.
The set includes twenty-six pieces in total, enough pieces to actually serve a gathering. It is composed of: one teapot, one lidded sugar bowl, one creamer, eleven cups and twelve saucers.
The porcelain was made by L. Bernardaud et Cie in Limoges, one of the great French porcelain houses. The pieces carry the green underglaze B&Cº Limoges France mark, consistent with Bernardaud production around 1900 to 1914, before “Made in France” became standard on many export pieces.
The shapes of all the pieces are beautifully restrained. The set has elegant ring loop handles that give the whole service a lovely balance of refinement and usefulness.
The set shows gentle age and use, including gilt wear along the handles and at some cup and saucer rims... exactly where hands meet porcelain over time. That wear gives the service its credibility. One cup has likely been lost along the way but the service remains generous, coherent and very usable.
Today, it would be beautiful for afternoon tea, coffee service or a special breakfast or brunch. Equally beautiful displayed in a French country dresser where the white porcelain and gold lines can catch the light.
