~Bernardaud Limoges ~ Ancienne Manufacture Royale de Limoges ~ Decor Elysee "The dinnerware service was created by the Manufacture de Sevres in 1832 for Louis-Philippe for use in the Tuileries Palace. This pattern was created using an Empire shape in order to replicate this historical period. Certain pieces follow the purist, most classical forms: the gravy boat evokes an antique oil lamp, and the creamer is inspired by a French ceramic pot from the 18th Century. Elysee shows a frieze of palm leaves in a burnished gold, on an agate blue background. Its outspread leaves give off a ray-like solar effect, typical of spectacular motifs. It was this sign of modernity that inspired Chateaubriand to write towards the end of his career: "One could say that the old world is ending and that the new one begins. I see the reflection of an aurora, yet I will never see the sun." A new edition of the original service by the Ancienne Manufacture Royale is found at the National Museum of Ceramics in Sevres."
