Musee de Arts Reproduction Pots de Creme Set by Mottahedeh, Made in Italy, 11"

This is a beautiful pots de creme set from Mottahedeh, made in Italy. These dessert cups are reproduced from eighteenth century designs from the Pont aux Choux factory, one of the first important French faience factories. The factory was originally established during the last years of the ancien regime of Louis XVI, to produce the delicate creamware or white soft paste designs in fashion at the time. Like the originals, these pure white cups are made of pottery rather than hard paste porcelain and are decorated with a delicate rosebud and leaf finial. The original cups of this design come from the collection of the Musee Des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. This 13-piece set consists of 6 handled pots with lids and a tray. Use these as intended to make chocolate pot de creme or use in a tablescape. These are in overall excellent condition with a few tiny nicks/flea bites that are barely noticeable.
