Tea and Coffee Service c. 1820

This elegant Tea and Coffee Service, created by the Denuelle Porcelain Manufactory in the early 19th century, showcases the artistry of French porcelain production. The set, composed of a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, cups, and saucers, is adorned with intricate gilded floral motifs against a deep blue ground, reflecting the popular Chinoiserie style of the era. This piece is a prime example of the craftsmanship and design innovation of Denuelle, a short-lived but renowned porcelain factory, and is now held in the prestigious collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
