And I agree with you with the Versailles cup (I didn't buy it either when there last year- I did pick up a couple of the Limoges M.A. pieces. I didn't even realize they were Limoges at the time of purchase. <BR/>There was a great show in San Francisco in January '07 at the Legion of Honor displaying the inner contents of the Petit Trianon. Wonderful show!They were selling the MA Limoges' so I broke my bank & bought the cup & saucer & candle. <BR/>The reason for writing though is that I just LOVED your bird post. And you showed those brilliant bird pieces from Musee Nissim de Camondo. No one will get the full scale of the room that they are in (one of my favorite places of all of Paris actually)- and from what I can remember each item of porcelain piece had a different bird on them- pretty fabulous!<BR/>Thank you for making the world a brighter!!!!<BR/><BR/>Au revior<BR/>F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-57599040130819494922008-11-20T11:54:00.000-05:002008-11-20T11:54:00.000-05:00Wow this Tea pot painting has to be your best yet....Wow this Tea pot painting has to be your best yet.
