2-en-1 tea bowls
Marie-Ange Guilleminot
A pair of small interlocking hemispherical porcelain biscuit tea bowls. The larger one is enamelled on the inside. Together, they stand on a curved support bearing the artist's signature and the Sèvres marks, and each rests on a porcelain hoop. Presented in a wooden box, wrapped in a Furoshiki and accompanied by hand-painted Japanese leaflets.
Works of art made entirely by hand by our craftsmen in the workshops of the Manufacture. Nuances and variations may appear from one piece to the next, making each one almost unique.
