Old Paris Porcelain Individual Tea Set Circa 1860

  

Presented by Gin-For's Odditiques. Old Paris Porcelain Individual Tea Set.

Based on style, this lovely individual or "egotiste" tea set falls into the somewhat generic category of Old Paris porcelain. The set includes a handled tray, teapot, creamer, covered sugar, and a single cup and saucer. All are decorated with pink stripes and floral decoration in between. Sets of this type seem to come in many variations, although most are "full size" sets rather than the individual style with a smaller pot, creamer and sugar...

But cup is full size. Width on the tray (handle to handle) is about 12 5/8. Height of the teapot is about 4 1/2. Condition is excellent overall, but the lid of the sugar does has cracks, as pictured. Aside from being the right thing to do.

If you have any questions, just get in touch. We pack with plenty of bubble wrap and peanuts. This Is Us: What's "Gin-For"? It also stands for Ginny and Forrest, and Odditiques is oddities and antiques.

I wanted top billing, but For-Gin didn't seem quite right in the antiques game. Hope you've enjoyed seeing the item and maybe got a chuckle, too.

No extra charge for chuckles, giggles, or smiles. The photo with Berlioz is essentially our logo, and the Lancelot mug is just for perspective, not for sale.

Cats and batteries not included, although a search will find the cats on their own pages as well as finding more Gin-For's Odditiques.
