EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning set of porcelain tableware from the Blue Cameo Service, created in Sevres during 1778-9. The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia is fortunate to house this exquisite piece of French artistry. The Plat de Menage, dish, cup and saucer, and ice cream bowl are all crafted from soft-paste porcelain and adorned with delicate overglaze decoration. The neo-classical design features intricate gilding against a mesmerizing turquoise background known as bleu celeste. Standing at an impressive height of 15.5 inches with a stand diameter of 20.5 inches, the plat takes center stage in this ensemble. The cup measures 7 inches tall and wide while the bowl stands at an impressive height of 24 inches with a diameter of 19 inches. Commissioned by Catherine II herself, these pieces were designed to impress even the most discerning guests at her royal gatherings. With their elegant craftsmanship and timeless beauty, they truly embody the opulence and sophistication associated with French aristocracy during the 18th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where fine dining was elevated to an art form. This extraordinary display serves as a testament to human creativity and skill that has stood the test of time for centuries.
