Tea service with six cups in fine Indochinese porcelain. The celadon-colored cups are decorated with floral and bird motifs painted in cartouches on a white background. The handle and base of each cup are removable and made of silver-plated metal, openwork and engraved with plant motifs. The octagonal saucers are in silver-plated metal, engraved with floral motifs and openwork on the wings. The set comes with six engraved silver-plated spoons and is presented in its original box.

Made in Indochina in the 1920s.

Celadon refers to both a color and a type of ceramic specific to China and the Far East. "Celadon green" is a color name for a shade of green. Celadon is particularly popular in Asia, as it can be used to obtain the color of jade, a sacred stone in Chinese culture. Today, the name celadon is almost always associated with porcelain, usually Chinese. In French, the origin of the word comes from Honoré d'Urfé's novel L'Astrée (17th century), in which one of the characters, Céladon, a shepherd, wears green ribbons.
