A comprehensive twenty-eight piece fine white porcelain tea and coffee service manufactured by Royal Limoges, France, in the Touraine pattern. The set features a delicate, allover repeating grid of small blue and gold-toned stylized motifs.

The service comprises one tall, lidded teapot with a scrolled handle and shaped spout; one lidded sugar bowl; one milk jug or creamer; twelve footed cups with scrolled handles; twelve coordinating saucers with scalloped edges; and one rectangular serving tray with rounded corners and a raised rim. The primary pattern is transfer-printed, accented with extensive hand-applied or stenciled gilding on the rims, handles, and lid finials. The underside of the pieces bears the backstamp for Royal Limoges FRANCE accompanied by a crown emblem, with the pattern name TOURAINE printed in pink. Weight includes all items.
