  • This tea set is decorated with a dotted or 'pointillé' ground and has painted trophies representing military and pastoral music. The trophies on the teapot and sugar bowl were painted by Louis-Gabriel Churlot (op. 1755-1800), who was himself a keen musician and represented the instruments in great detail.
    The cup and saucer do not bear his mark and the trophies are less bold which suggests that they were painted by another artist.
