Sevres 19th C., Chateau Des Tuileries 1846 Louis Phillippe Cup / Saucer Set
Located in Atlanta, GA
Sevres, 20 Pieces (10 Sets) Circa 1846. Made for the Chateau Des Tuileries service of Louis Phillippe
This exquisite Sèvres porcelain cup and saucer grouping (10 sets) dates to the Louis-Philippe era, featuring the royal monogram of King Louis-Philippe I (reigned 1830–1848). The monogram, prominently displayed on the saucers, is encircled by a laurel wreath and crowned, signifying its royal provenance and connection to French aristocracy. The set was likely commissioned for or associated with the Château des Tuileries, as indicated by the markings on the underside.
The design includes a regal cobalt blue border with intricate gilded ivy patterns, hand-painted cherubs, and floral medallions on the tea cups. Gilded accents, including the delicate handles, enhance the opulence of this neoclassical-style set. The artistry and precision reflect the mastery of the Sèvres porcelain factory during this period.
This Louis-Philippe monogrammed tea set is a rare and historically significant collection, ideal for collectors of French royal memorabilia or fine European porcelain...

Antique and Vintage Porcelain Dinner Plates, Platters and Serveware for Sale
Today you’re likely to bring out your antique and vintage porcelain in order to dress up your dining table for a special meal.
Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material.
Meissen Porcelain, one of the first factories to create real porcelain outside Asia, popularized figurine centerpieces during the 18th century in Germany, while works by Capodimonte, a porcelain factory in Italy, are synonymous with flowers and notoriously hard to come by. Modern porcelain houses such as Maison Fragile of Limoges, France — long a hub of private porcelain manufacturing — keep the city’s long tradition alive while collaborating with venturesome contemporary artists such as illustrator Jean-Michel Tixier.
Porcelain is not totally clumsy-guest-proof, but it is surprisingly durable and easy to clean. Its low permeability and hardness have rendered porcelain wares a staple in kitchens and dining rooms as well as a common material for bathroom sinks and dental veneers. While it is tempting to store your porcelain behind closed glass cabinet doors and reserve it only for display, your porcelain dinner plates and serving platters can safely weather the “dangers” of the dining room and be used during meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is stronger than ceramic because it is denser.
On 1stDibs, browse an expansive collection of antique and vintage porcelain made in a variety of styles, including Regency, Scandinavian modern and other examples produced during the mid-century era, plus Rococo, which found its inspiration in nature and saw potters crafting animal figurines and integrating organic motifs such as floral patterns in their work.
