The Bernardaud Marie Antoinette tea cup and saucer is a refined porcelain creation, part of the celebrated service designed for Queen Marie-Antoinette. Its graceful “Comte d’Artois” shape is adorned with the exquisite pearl and cornflower motif, which perfectly combines natural delicacy with regal sophistication. The cornflower, a simple wildflower beloved by the queen and said to reflect the color of her eyes, is delicately arranged between two rows of pearls, enhanced with golden filets, and set against a refined green background. This poetic design conveys Marie-Antoinette’s love of nature and her innate sense of luxury. Crafted in fine Limoges porcelain, the cup is designed with thin edges that enhance the taste and aroma of tea while keeping it warm. Both functional and elegant, this tea cup and saucer is a fabulous addition to any dinnerware collection, bringing a touch of royal refinement to your table. With only two original pieces of this historic dinner service preserved today—one at the Versailles château and the other at the Louvre Museum—the collection stands as a timeless tribute to French heritage and artistry.
