About the Collection
The Sèvres Manufactory created the Elysée service in 1832 for King Louis-Philippe's personal use at the Tuileries Palace. Instead of using inherited pieces, Louis-Philippe preferred to have new table settings made. The Sèvres Manufactory developed a technical innovation to meet the large orders, and in 1842, they adopted the plate calibration method which is still in use today.
The Elysée service retains the graceful curves of the Empire shape, but some pieces are inspired by the purest Classical style. For example, a gravy boat resembling an ancient oil lamp or a creamer inspired by an antique French water pitcher. The decoration features a frieze of palm leaves in burnished gold on a pale blue background, creating a magnificent splendor. The original dinnerware service is now held by the National Museum of Ceramics in Sèvres, France.
About the brand

In a field that is constantly changing and at the forefront of design, the House of Bernardaud develops new technologies and constantly pushes the boundaries of the art of fire in its Limoges manufacture.
To design its collections of porcelain dinner services, lamps, candles and jewellery, the house commissions the greatest contemporary designers and artists. Bernardaud also makes bespoke creations - in décor or shape - for the hotel and catering industry: plates, cups, bowls, lights and decorative objects in porcelain to grace the tables of the greatest chefs and the most beautiful palaces around the world.
About the Manufacture
Depending on the style of the collection, the application of the decoration is more or less complex. Some valuable pieces are painted by hand and the craftsmen show exceptional dexterity in using a wide variety of brushes.
In most cases, a leaf decoration (decalcomania principle) is applied by hand on the white porcelain. It is dipped in water so as to detach the design from its paper backing and applied to the piece. The leaf decoration is produced by different printing processes, originally lithography, now silk-screen printing. The Bernardaud factory is one of the few in Limoges to have a printing works.
