La table du prince is an exhibition catalog published in conjunction with the display held at the Musées royaux d'art et d'histoire in Brussels from October 20, 2004, to February 20, 2005. Authored by Claire Dumortier, the work explores the Service d'Orléans—a notable set of porcelain tableware produced in Tournai during the 18th century. The book examines the historical, artistic, and cultural significance of this ceramic service, situating it within the broader context of European decorative arts and aristocratic dining practices. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, it offers insights into the craftsmanship of Tournai porcelain, its patronage, and its role in royal and elite circles. As both a scholarly resource and a visual record, the publication serves as a key reference for historians, curators, and collectors interested in Belgian ceramics and 18th-century material culture.
