Porcelaine de Paris - Cup and saucer (2) - Tasse en porcelaine dure - XIXe Restauration - Locré - Fond Rose - Porcelain

Porcelaine de Paris's cup and saucer set from the 19th-century Restoration period highlights fine hard-paste porcelain craftsmanship from Paris. The Restauration era (1814-1830) saw a revival of neoclassical styles following the Napoleonic period, often reflected in delicate pink (fond rose) backgrounds and elegant decorations. Locré likely refers to the artist or manufacturer associated with this design. Such porcelain pieces are collectible for their historical significance, artistic quality, and enduring craftsmanship. Cups and saucers from this era would commonly be used in aristocratic or affluent bourgeois settings for serving tea or coffee.
