A Hermès tea set for six in the Toucans pattern, France. White porcelain banded in green and gold and painted with the tropical birds Hermès is known for — toucans on a berried branch on the cups and smaller pieces, a blue bird in flight at the centre of the plates. Fifteen pieces.
Toucans is one of the Maison's most collected table patterns, drawn from the Hermès love of the exotic and rendered in the house's signature clean green-and-gold framing. A complete tea service at this level is as much a collector's piece as a working one.
