3-piece porcelain tea/coffee service Apilco - Hand-painted fruit design

A unique piece of table art to pass on. I am selling this magnificent 3-piece hard porcelain set, which comes from a family inheritance. This set combines the legendary robustness of the French manufacturer Apilco (founded in 1826) with the poetry of a unique handcrafted artwork, entirely made in Paris. Each piece has been hand-painted in a Parisian workshop and proudly bears the artist's handwritten signature underneath: "Peint Main Paris 2001", accompanied by their monogram. The set stands out for its superb graphic and colourful work. The bodies of the white porcelain pieces contrast beautifully with the handles, spouts, and lid knobs painted in a warm terracotta / brick red colour. The decoration features stylised fruits (a pear on one side, an apple on the other) with subtle gradients, topped with raised green leaves on the lids. A spirit that is both modern and timeless, which will bring a unique and colourful touch to your tasting moments. The complete set includes 3 pieces: 1 large teapot / coffee pot with its lid sculpted with a green leaf. 1 matching sugar bowl with its lid. 1 milk jug / creamer. Overall excellent condition. The porcelain is bright, the colours are perfectly preserved, and the glazing is superb. No chips or cracks. A true piece of Parisian craftsmanship from the early millennium (2001). Hand delivery possible within 20 km of Amiens.
