Le TALLEC

Rare coffee cup and saucer in the "Chinese Circus" pattern made by Camille Le Tallec.

Hand painted (signatures under the cup and the saucer with the letter date "P/v" for 1973/1974)


Model taken over by Tiffany & Co. in the 2000s for its famous series "Private Stock".
The Chinese Circus pattern is an exquisite pattern with intricate, colorful and lovely scenes.
The pattern is made in a "chinoiserie" style which evokes scenes from 18th century China.
The Chinese Circus, in particular, features fanciful 18th-century depictions of Chinese circus performers with structures, trees and flowers.
Camille Le Tallec's workshop operated independently from 1930 to 1990 when it was acquired by Tiffany & Co.
During its long history, it created porcelain tableware for Kings and Queens like the Queen Elizabeth II and Kings Mohammed V and Hassan II of Morocco.
These types of pieces are now sold at Christie's or Sotheby's
