PRICE EACH

Designed by French ceramicist, Eugène Grandjean. The family studio of Grandjean-Jourdan made faux bois (fake wood) designs through the 1950s.

Generously sized, perfect for milky morning coffee or a cheeky hot chocolate. I found these in a Lisbon flea market and stuffed them into my luggage.

The originals were produced by Atelier Grandjean-Jourdan in their Vallauris pottery in the south of France (where Picasso produced his ceramic works). They were much copied. These don’t have the Vallauris mark but they’re a very good period copy and hand painted. Probably produced in Spain.

Originals are very hard to come by and priced in the several hundreds each.

MEASURES

These are big cups, perfect for morning coffee or a hot chocolate. About 13cm diameter and 10cm deep. Saucers are 19cm long x 14 cm wide.

CONDITION

Worn and chipped and crazed, but too wonderful to worry about that.
