Why You’ll Love It
This is a whimsical, storybook style Veronique Cornish porcelain tea service. Handcrafted by the French artisan, this charming four-piece set incorporates delicate bird motifs, creating the feeling of a tiny tea party hidden among the trees. The teapot is beautifully decorated in soft blue and moss-green tones reminiscent of woodland foliage, while its branch-shaped handle is crowned by a sculpted blackbird that serves as an elegant thumb rest. Two matching teacups feature delightful hand-sculpted songbirds perched atop their handles. A coordinating porcelain serving tray has branch-inspired handles and molded green leaf accents.
Perfect for displaying in a cottage kitchen, woodland cottage, fairy-tale nursery, conservatory, garden room, tea shop, breakfast nook, or whimsical storybook dollhouse setting.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
