Why You’ll Love It
Richly layered and jewel-like in appearance, this OOAK hand-painted porcelain tea service is covered in a densely patterned burgundy floral mosaic design filled with tiny pastel blossoms, emerald foliage, and lavish gold leaf accents. The intricate surface decoration creates the feeling of an illuminated manuscript or ornate tapestry translated into miniature porcelain. Display beautifully in a Victorian parlor, formal salon, opulent tea vignette, or richly collected display cabinet. This set includes 8 pieces: 1 lidded teapot, 1 lidded sugar bowl, 1 creamer pitcher, 2 teacups with matching saucers, and 1 large display tray.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
