Comments

This saucier is from the famous Capraire porcelain set used by the king Louis-Philippe 1er of France in the Tuileries Castle. The design was first made for Napoléon I for the Castle of Rambouillet. After that, Louis-Philippe reused it as the big diner set for his first residence. It was also used by Napoléon the third. The shape of it is call « lamp » in reference to old antique Roman oil lamp.
