Complete hand-painted Murano porcelain service, Venice (special commission for the French market), 19th century
The tableware is inspired by the life of a mythological tale and is completely hand-painted with different allegorical scenes of vintage, music, arts, love, etc. The 24 karat gold decoration presents an exquisite relief work simulating small pearls. Some plates are signed with the initials: AJ The reverse of each plate bears the mark: Murano Venise (written in French, not Italian) - this suggests that this tableware was a special order where the porcelain is Italian and the design made in France where we count 12 soup plates, 36 flat plates, 12 plates and 12 coffee or tea cups plus 12 dessert plates, 1 sugar bowl, 2 fruit bowls, 1 sauce boat, 2 spice racks, 2 compotes, 2 vegetables, 8 various platters, 1 salad bowl, 1 punch bowl and 2 tureens.
