What customers say
Reviewers consistently highlight the exquisite quality and superior craftsmanship of this porcelain set. The Tilleul colorway offers sophisticated elegance, creating a truly luxurious experience. Customers appreciate the delicate yet durable nature of the material, noting its perfect balance.

Know before you buy
Each piece is meticulously crafted from fine porcelain in Limoges, France, a region world-renowned for its heritage in high-quality ceramic production.
No, this set is neither dishwasher nor microwave safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted details, we recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve the finish.
Because each piece is custom-produced in France, the set is made specifically for your order rather than pulled from pre-existing stock. This ensures the highest level of craftsmanship for your collection.
The tall cup stands at 3.75 inches in height, and the accompanying saucer measures 6.25 inches in diameter, making it well-suited for a standard tea or coffee service.
While the porcelain is durable, the intricate hand-painted design and formal aesthetic make this set best suited for special occasions and sophisticated dining settings rather than daily, heavy-duty use.
