The Bernardaud Marie Antoinette espresso cup and saucer is a delicate and refined porcelain piece, inspired by the service created for Queen Marie-Antoinette. Its graceful “Comte d’Artois” form is decorated with the iconic pearl and cornflower motif, an enchanting blend of simplicity and royal elegance. The cornflower, a simple wildflower beloved by the queen and said to match the color of her eyes, is delicately arranged between rows of pearls, highlighted by golden filets, and set against a refined green background. A bouquet of freshly gathered blooms at the center enhances its poetic charm. Designed to emphasize the taste and aroma of coffee, the espresso cup’s thin edges maintain the drink’s warmth while providing an elegant drinking experience. Handcrafted in fine Limoges porcelain, this espresso cup and saucer brings a touch of royal sophistication to your coffee service. With only two original pieces of the queen’s celebrated dinnerware preserved at the Versailles château and the Louvre Museum, this collection is a timeless homage to French artistry and heritage.
