Historic cup manufacture royale de limoges bernardaud “with birds” €190

This cup is due to the parisian factory of the dagoty brothers, protected by empress joséphine, and certainly the most brilliant in the empire. It reconciles the “return from egypt” style and the taste for roman and pompeian antiquities, while evoking the passion for the natural sciences of a sovereign who owned an astonishing collection of stuffed animals at malmaison. New price 349 euros sold 200.
