Elegant Chinese tea service from the late 19th or early 20th century. It consists of five coconut shell cups with silver inserts, decorated with green lacquered Chinese characters. Each cup bears a poetic expression evoking the pleasures of tea: summer freshness, soothing, floating aroma, awakening the senses. Presented on a carved wooden tray decorated with bamboo, inlaid scenes and a symbol of longevity. One cup is cracked, but the whole remains in good overall condition with a beautiful patina.
