About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
In the mid-20th century, Limoges continued to do what it had admirably done for nearly two hundred years: transform porcelain into an everyday object without ever stripping it of its precious character. The porcelain remains entirely white. Across this whiteness runs a very deep cobalt blue band, bordered by a thin gold line. The decoration is repeated on both the cups and the saucers and is enough to establish the entire identity of the set. This combination of blue and gold is no accident. Cobalt has long been part of the vocabulary of great European porcelains. Its intense color visually contrasts with the whiteness of the paste and forms a particularly felicitous setting for the gilding. The decoration here offers a restrained interpretation, adapted to the taste of the 1950s-1970s. These are genuine teacups, wide and relatively low, with a gently rounded bowl resting on a small footring. Their generous opening immediately distinguishes them from coffee cups, which are narrower and taller. The slender handle extends this silhouette without weighing it down. The reverse bears the stamp "Porcelaine d'Art, Limoges France", accompanied by the "Limoges France" marking. This hallmark connects the set to Limoges porcelain production of the post-war decades. The cobalt and gold give it something timeless. The design is restrained enough to harmonize with white dinnerware, antique silverware, or crystal. Complete set of 12 pieces.
