This is a sweet, complete antique French miniature set of six hot chocolate mugs and lids on their beautiful matching tray which is hand-painted with a pretty, exotic bird to the centre, c1910 - 1920s. This rare set is doll sized, with the tray measuring only 5cms long. Just right for your small fashion, mignonette or dollshouse doll. For scale, the all-bisque doll in the final picture is 5 inches tall.
The tray is signed by the esteemed French studio pottery designer an...d artist Gabriel Fourmaintraux (the GF sunburst mark) from Desvres, Calais. His pieces are sought-after and very distinctive with their avant-garde and stylish designs, bright colours, and charming patterns. In this instance, the bold colour-way is predominantly dusky sky blue with burnt orange and pink.
There are no cracks, chips or repairs and incredibly all the tiny lids with their miniscule finials are still present - so, delicious hot chocolate for ALL the dollhouse dolls tonight! Smiling faces all round!
These sets are rather scarce and command prices far higher than my starting price - I am starting this at just a quarter of the price I have seen them realise and wish you happy bidding!
Please note that this listing is for the tray and lidded cups only - neither the doll nor any of the other display items are included, although the antique dolls house candlesticks are listed for auction separately. Thank you!
