About the Item

This remarkable 43-piece porcelain dinner service dates from the late 19th century and beautifully reflects the refined taste of the period. Each piece is delicately decorated with hand-painted sprays of blue flowers and graceful birds in flight, arranged with a sense of poetry and natural elegance. The decoration is enhanced by discreet gilt highlights around the rims, adding a subtle note of luxury without overwhelming the design. The service includes dinner and side plates, footed compotes, and the particularly rare square covered dish with its matching underplate, all united by the same harmonious motif. The variety of forms makes this set both practical for dining and highly decorative for display. Porcelain of this period is admired for its fine quality and artistic detail, and this ensemble exemplifies the craftsmanship that late 19th-century European porcelain manufacturers sought to achieve. Its naturalistic decoration reflects the influence of Japonisme and the growing taste for delicate, nature-inspired designs that became fashionable at the end of the century. For collectors, the completeness of this set is exceptional, as large services rarely survive intact. Whether displayed in a cabinet, set on a dining table, or used for entertaining, this late 19th-century dinner service offers timeless charm and sophistication.
