Description
English fine bone china teacup and saucer designed in an exclusive collaboration with one of Europe’s leading art museums – The Wallace Collection in Marylebone, London.
Designer Melanie Roseveare has been commissioned by The Wallace Collection to create a timeless range of fine bone china tableware and sumptuous textiles inspired by one of the museum’s superb Old Masters paintings. The Temptation of St Hillarion – a 19th Century painting by French artist Dominique-Louis-Féréol Papety.
Deconstructing the painting and giving it a contemporary twist, the teacup celebrates the ‘temptation’ St Hillarion sees in his visions by depicting The Temptress and The Hermit.
Made of delicate fine bone china with a touch of luxurious hand applied 22kt gilding making this a delightful gift or unique wedding present.
