Queen Marie-Antoinette’s service was delivered to the Versailles palace on the 2nd of January in 1782 by the Royal Sèvres Manufactory. Its gracious Comte d’Artois shape, enhanced by its “pearl and cornflower” decoration, is enchanting in its delicate simplicity, its decoration placement seemingly improvised. The cornflower, a simple wild flower, was a favorite of the queen. It was the color of her eyes and she would gather them in fresh bouquets at the country retreat of her hamlet in the Petit Trianon. Cornflowers are placed between two rows of pearls, set against a green background, and highlighted by golden filets. Looking as if they have been freshly gathered, a simple bouquet of wild cornflowers decorates the center of the plate. Only two of the original pieces from this celebrated dinnerware service can still be found as part of French national collections: one is held by the Versailles château and the other by the Louvre Museum. Handmade of fine Limoges porcelain in France.
Founded in 1737 under Louis XV, then put under the protection of the Comte d’Artois, Louis XVI’s brother in 1774 and sold during the Revolution, Ancienne Manufacture Royale de Limoges has been part of Bernardaud since 1986 and produces all its historical models in its Limoges workshops according to the strictest quality standards.

After buying the White Breakfast Tray from Scully, I had to figure out what Bernardaud Pattern would be The Inspiring for a Great Day...and I found the Marie Antionette Pattern.
IT'S PERFECT FOR EVERY KIND OF BREAKFAST!
Thank You Scully & Scully
