About this item
This Lenwile Ardalt porcelain trio brings a refined mid‑century elegance to tea settings, vanities, or curated display shelves.
The cup and saucer feature a classic romance‑style scene inspired by the Rococo paintings of François Boucher, whose idyllic pastoral compositions shaped European decorative arts throughout the 18th century. Hand‑painted details and gold gilding highlight the contours of the transfer work, giving the set a warm, luminous presence. The accompanying leaf‑shaped trinket bowl, model 7331, echoes the same romantic motif with its scalloped leaf form, small gilded handle, and three petite feet that lift it lightly from the surface. Ardalt’s mid‑century porcelain lines, including pattern 7334, were prized for their ornate decoration and balanced proportions, making this coordinated grouping ideal for display or gentle use.
Dimensions are: saucer is 5" diameter; tea cup is 2" tall and 2.5" diameter; trinket bowl is 5" diameter and 1.5" tall.
