Introducing a beautiful Hébert cup and saucer set created by the Sèvres porcelain manufactory in 18th-century France. This piece, crafted around 1757, showcases exquisite artistry and craftsmanship.

The cup and saucer are decorated with birds rendered in soft purple camaieu (a technique using shades of a single color). The birds are meticulously depicted, perched gracefully on tree branches, capturing a delicate natural scene. The edges are accented with fine gold "dentelés" (zigzag lines), adding an elegant finishing touch to the overall design.
