Rare Chocolatiere with Original Moulinet
France, 1965An exceptional and highly decorative hand-painted porcelain chocolatière produced by the celebrated Parisian atelier of Camille Le Tallec.Executed in 1965, the piece is lavishly decorated on a rich deep-green ground with finely burnished and gilt ornamentation inspired by the French Empire style.The elegant baluster-form body is raised on three sculptural rocaille feet enriched with gilded relief decoration.
