Description

The pieces composing this individual tea set are entirely typical of Chantilly soft-paste porcelain in the Kakiemon style. Both the form and decoration of these pieces were inspired by Japanese prototypes. The use of knobs in the form of trumpet-shaped blossoms is characteristic of Chantilly wares.

Founded in c. 1730 under the patronage of Louis-Henri de Bourbon, Prince de Condé, an impassioned collector of Japanese Arita porcelain, and managed by Ciquaire Cirou until his death in 1751. Only soft-paste porcelain was made.
