Made up of ten pieces, this coffee and tea set bears the mark of the manufacturing company of Choisy-Le-Roi, and is from the Hippolyte Boulenger period. Made out of enamelled faience around 1880-1890, this coffee and tea set in oriental style is characteristic of the trend at the time to move towards exotic styles, from Japan to China, whilst passing through The Orient. The two jugs for the coffee and the tea, the water container, the sugar bowl and the five cups with saucers are enamelled in green and yellow from the bottom, in order to create subtle gradations. The enamelled work is of very high quality. The abstract engraved decoration is made up of concentric and twisting lines, whilst the top of the handles of the different pieces are decorated with animal protomes, either eagles or dragons.
Hippolyte Boulenger became the director of the Choisy-Le-Roi company in 1863. Thanks to his charisma and his entrepreneurial nature he spectacularly developed faiencerie. Under his leadership, production expanded and small decorative objects started to be made. Research on the production of Japanese and oriental style pieces was undertaken. This coffee and tea service is completely characteristic of this new type of production, which developed after the death of Hippolyte Boulenger in 1892, when the company was handed over to his son, Paul.
