    2 litron cups and saucers
    Painted hard-paste porcelain, enhanced with gilding
    Dimensions: D. 13 ; H. 6 (cm.)
    Paris, circa 1795 - 1810

    A delightful pair of litron-shaped cups, the handle very slightly poly-lobed, with gilded friezes of diamond-shaped navette medallions containing radiating palmettes and a frieze of arabesques on a dark nankin background. The quality of the gold friezes and the use of this color make this work similar to those produced by the Locré factory.

    Hard porcelain in Paris in the early 19th century
    In contrast to earthenware, porcelain factories flourished under the Empire, particularly in Paris. The period 1800-1820 can be considered the golden age of porcelain in Paris. Nineteen factories already existed in Paris in 1800, but only seven had been founded under the Ancien Régime: Dihl et Guérard, Houzel, Lemaire et Josse, Pouyat et Russinger, Schoelcher, Despréz et Nast.Unlike the last twenty years of the 18th century, marked by a shift from rocaille to antique simplicity, the first thirty years of the 19th century saw the opposite, evolving from antique sobriety to rococo.

    Condition report: wear to gilding, associated saucers.
