Coffee cup and saucer, Harmonia Blanc, Raynaud
This very naturalistic and emblematic decoration of the Chinese golden age, intended for the imperial court, is today superbly reinterpreted by Maison Raynaud. The origin of this collection dates back to the 18th century, when it was produced under the prolific reign of Emperor Qianlong, 4th of the Qing dynasty of Manchu origin, who was an erudite monarch, poet and accomplished calligrapher painter. This decoration, representative of the great wealth of porcelain from this period, is exhibited at the Musée National des Arts Asiatiques - Guimet, which enthusiastically welcomed this reissue project led by Maison Raynaud.
