Marie-Antoinette at Bernardaud

Marie-Antoinette teapot,watercolor 5.5" x 7.5"

I was first bowled over by the Bernardaud's windows at Carrousel du Louvre of their Marie-Antoinette commemorative collection.

Plus the big posters all over Paris drove me to the not-to-be missed exhibit.
 
An exquisite goblet in the same collection...This milky breast-shaped piece was designed especially for La Laiterie de Rambouillet - Marie-Antoinette's dairy, Le hameau at Versailles.And then back again to Bernardaud to look again at this Limoges china...
A 16th c Supernanny giving a good wacking with a bouquet of roses. These lush silk roses drove me to seek out SIA.
*Note the decorative macarons.
The shelf life of these cookies is not long.
I wonder who's job it is to eat and replenish these window?
