About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
In the post-war years, French tables changed. Shapes became lighter, decorations more restrained, but certain habits remained: beautiful porcelain, a few touches of gold, and careful attention paid to the objects presented to guests. The decoration is pared down to the essentials. White, luminous porcelain, a stroke of remarkably deep cobalt blue, then gold that highlights the contours. No flowers, no medallions, no superfluous ornaments. Everything rests on the quality of the proportions and the very classic harmony of these three colors. The shape of the cups has more character than it seems. Taller and narrower than tea cups, they feature a gently rounded body ending in a small annular foot, a detail that slightly elevates them from their saucer and refines their silhouette. The round and generous handle balances this almost cylindrical form. Beneath the pieces, the "Porcelaine d'Art, Limoges France" stamp recalls their origin. Since the discovery of kaolin near Limoges in the 18th century, the city has built a true industrial and artistic expertise around porcelain, passed down from factory to factory. This set belongs to the 1950s-1970s period, when Limoges gradually abandoned the decorative opulence of older services to adopt lines better suited to 20th-century interiors. The cobalt and gold lend it a timeless quality. 8-piece set.
