And indeed, looking over this line’s variety of designs evokes the elegant jumble of wrought iron one might see looking down a crowded row of houses in sun-drenched Spain. Each of the variations is refined and assertive, having its own personality and function, but all work together in total harmony. The geometry of the ironwork motif gives this setting visual strength, while flowering curves impart a timeless allure. Bold contrasts update the classic designs and bring to your table a sophisticated interplay of pattern and energy. The sturdiness of the drawing, the vitality of the color red, and the wealth and variety of the pieces make it a noble table service. Limoges porcelain Made in France Capacity: 10 fl. oz.
