This elegant miniature teacup and saucer set is crafted by Haviland, a renowned manufacturer based in Limoges, the holy land of French porcelain. Founded in 1842, Haviland is a world-renowned brand beloved by Napoleon III and U.S. President Lincoln. Its sophisticated design and exceptional quality continue to captivate collectors worldwide.

The greatest attraction of this set is the three-dimensional swirl design on the pure white porcelain. The cup itself is embossed with an elegant spiraling, undulating pattern, creating a beautiful design that changes shade depending on the light. The rim of the saucer is adorned with a graceful scalloped edge reminiscent of a petal, giving it the delicate impression of a blooming white flower.

The translucent whiteness and thin, light construction unique to Limoges porcelain require advanced techniques. The back is stamped "H&Co FRANCE," certifying that it is an authentic Haviland product. The beauty of the simple white porcelain, devoid of any decoration, has a timeless appeal that is loved throughout the ages.

Recommended usage and applications

Taking advantage of the delicacy of its mini size, it is perfect for drinks that require careful sipping of small amounts, such as espresso, rich Turkish coffee, or high-quality gyokuro tea. The clean look of the white porcelain beautifully reflects the color of any drink.

Use it to entertain special guests and create a sophisticated atmosphere. The background of this prestigious French brand subtly conveys the spirit of high-quality hospitality. Enjoying coffee in a small cup with afternoon tea or sweets brings a touch of elegance to your everyday life.

Not only is it practical, but it also makes a beautiful interior decoration when displayed in a glass cabinet. It's also recommended to place it on a dressing table to hold jewelry or rings, or use it as a small storage space on a desk. It would also make a wonderful gift for antique porcelain collectors or lovers of French antiques.
