Summary

Description
English: An "Etruscan"-style teapot called a pestum which is part of a tea set called a "cabaret" together with an oval tray, a "Greek" milk jug, and two conical cups with saucers. Manufactured by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres in Sèvres, France, the items are decorated with flowers and insects and gold vermiculation by Gilbert Drouet, who was active at the manufactory from 1785 to 1824.

This cabaret was given by the manufactory to Empress Marie Louise, Napoleon's second wife, on 31 December 1811, who then gifted it on 1 January 1812 to Napoleon's uncle, Cardinal Joseph Fesch, who was Grand Chaplain of the Empire. Fesch took the cabaret with him when he returned to Rome, where it was then acquired by Vincenzo Camuccini, the director of the Vatican's art collections under Pope Pius VII.
