This antique French porcelain dinner service collection is a rare model from the late 1800s featuring a salamander with a crown motif, the personal emblem of King Francis the First (1494-1547, reigned 1515-47), who is said to have visited the house where this service and this mirror last resided.

The previous owners purchased it in homage to the home’s history. Note the charming details like the salamander-like handles. Stamped with a crowned mark noting Francois 1eme, Terre de Fer (Ironstone), Salins, on reverse.
