Few 19th-century French faience services embody the elegance, artistic refinement and poetic spirit of the Japonisme movement as beautifully as Jules Vieillard Bordeaux’s celebrated “Nella” pattern. More than a dinner service, this remarkable ensemble is a hand-painted work of art, where every piece celebrates nature through an extraordinary variety of exotic birds, flowering branches, butterflies and delicate insects. No two plates are exactly alike, making each place setting a unique composition while preserving the perfect harmony of the whole. Founded in Bordeaux in 1845, the Jules Vieillard manufactory became one of France’s most prestigious ceramic producers. By the 1870s it employed nearly 1,300 craftsmen, ranking among the country’s leading faience manufacturers. Its artistic creations were celebrated at the great international exhibitions of the nineteenth century, including the Gold Medal awarded at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1878, a distinction that firmly established the international reputation of the Bordeaux factory. Created during this golden period, the “Nella” pattern is now regarded as one of the manufactory’s finest and rarest achievements. Inspired by the discovery of Japanese art in Europe during the second half of the nineteenth century, it perfectly reflects the new decorative language that transformed European ceramics. Every piece was individually moulded in fine faience, fired, then meticulously hand-painted by master decorators using coloured enamels before receiving its final transparent glaze and being fired once again. This demanding process ensured exceptional brilliance while allowing each painter complete artistic freedom. Rather than reproducing a single repetitive design, every plate was intentionally decorated with its own individual composition. Kingfishers, parrots and other exotic birds rest upon blossoming branches of prunus, peonies, irises and wild roses. Butterflies, dragonflies and tiny ladybirds animate the white ground with remarkable delicacy, creating the impression of a living garden. The asymmetrical compositions, generous areas of untouched white and graceful movement throughout the decoration perfectly express the refined aesthetic of French Japonisme. Complete “Nella” services have become extraordinarily scarce. Intended for everyday use within distinguished households, most examples were gradually dispersed or damaged over nearly one hundred and fifty years. Today, large coherent ensembles with their original serving pieces seldom appear on the international market. According to family history, this exceptional service remained for generations in an elegant maison de maître on the French Riviera before entering the antiques market. Unlike most surviving examples, which are composed predominantly of plates, this magnificent ensemble retains an unusually rich selection of original serving pieces together with its complete coffee service, making it equally desirable for collectors, designers and prestigious private residences. Composition — 83 Pieces * 27 Dinner Plates – Ø 25 cm (9.84 in) * 14 Soup Plates – Ø 25.5 cm (10.04 in) * 16 Dessert Plates – Ø 22.5 cm (8.86 in) * 1 Covered Soup Tureen * 2 Covered Vegetable Tureens * 1 Covered Serving Dish * 2 Large Oval Serving Platters * 1 Large Fish Platter * 1 Shell-Shaped Compotier * 2 Covered Sauce Boats with Attached Stands * 1 Covered Mustard Pot * 1 Coffee Pot * 1 Covered Sugar Bowl * 1 Milk Jug * 10 Coffee Cups * 11 Coffee Saucers Every piece bears the JVB factory mark beneath, while the principal serving pieces are additionally marked “Nella”, confirming the authenticity of this prestigious model. The overall condition is exceptional considering its age of approximately 150 years. The enamels retain remarkable freshness and brilliance, while the glaze remains beautifully preserved. Minor imperfections are limited to a few discreet hairlines, one deep serving dish displaying slight age-related darkening, one coffee saucer with noticeable staining and the expected traces of careful domestic use accumulated over generations. These small imperfections are entirely consistent with the age of the service and do not detract from its extraordinary visual impact. More than simply an antique dinner service...

A delicate antique set of eight Haviland Limoges porcelain butter pats or small dessert bowls, made in France and beautifully decorated with pale blue floral garlands, soft green accents, scalloped molded edges, and gilt detailing. Each piece has a softly shaped form with raised floral relief along the rim, creating a romantic and highly decorative table presence. The combination of white Limoges porcelain, powder blue blossoms, hand-finished gilding, and graceful scalloped edges gives the set the refined character associated with Haviland’s late nineteenth and early twentieth-century production. Haviland became one of the most important names in Limoges porcelain, founded by the American Haviland family and closely connected to the American market for fine French porcelain. The company was especially admired for producing elegant tableware that combined French porcelain quality with patterns suited to refined domestic entertaining. Haviland porcelain is strongly associated with the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when Limoges became internationally recognized for its exceptional white porcelain body, delicate decoration, and sophisticated table services. These small dishes are especially charming because of their scale and versatility. Although originally sold as butter pats, their approximately 6-inch size makes them useful as small dessert bowls, berry bowls, fruit dishes, side dishes, nut bowls, or individual serving pieces. They are also beautiful as decorative objects, displayed stacked in a cabinet, arranged on a tea table, or layered into a romantic porcelain collection. The blue floral decoration feels light, feminine, and timeless, pairing naturally with French porcelain, silver plate, linen, transferware, crystal, and cottage or country house table settings. Their scalloped rims and gilded accents add a sense of occasion without feeling overly formal, making them suitable for both display and elegant entertaining. Presented in antique condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to porcelain of this period, including possible minor gilt wear and natural age-related surface marks. A beautiful and collectible Haviland Limoges set...
