Description

Polychrome porcelain coffee pot, entirely hand-painted and gilt, decorated with floral motifs in Louis XVI taste. The fluted body is adorned with garlands of roses, daisies and wildflowers in shades of pink, red and blue, framed by gilt fillets running along the ribs.

Condition report: Good condition. Some wear to the gilding, consistent with age and use.
