Creil et Montereau Chinoiserie Cup & Saucer

Crafted by the prestigious Creil et Montereau, this premium 19th-century Terre de Fer cup and saucer set features a striking Chinoiserie pattern. The evocative blue transferware pagoda scene is spectacularly elevated by hand-painted, multi-colored floral motifs, showcasing a masterclass in French ceramic artistry.

The cup measures a delicate 5 centimeters tall, pairing beautifully with its 15-centimeter matching saucer. While the polychrome exterior remains incredibly vibrant, the interior basin has surrendered to a heavy, exquisite crazing. This web of time offers an undeniable historic soul, creating exactly the kind of character that defines rustic elegance.

Such elaborate, well-preserved pieces from Creil et Montereau are increasingly rare to source. Whether catching the flickering light of a candle during a quiet evening or holding a slow morning tea, this set offers an immediate sense of permanence and sophisticated provincial heritage to your collection.
