Description
Jean Luce Paris white porcelain 8 coffee cups and saucers Circa 1950
JEAN LUCE (1895-1964), a member of the UAM movement, worked on the balance between form and function in the glassware and ceramics he produced for his Paris shop, for Compagnie Générale Transatlantique liners and for the Sèvres factory.
Jean Luce’s constant concern was for purity, refinement and rationalism.
These Jean Luce cups are a perfect example of his style, with their light, linear graphics.
In white porcelain decorated with the black VPM monogram, we also offer a table service for 8 people.
8 coffee cups D6.7xH6 cm and saucers D12xH1.5 cm
Each piece stamped Jean LUCE France and Thomas Germany on the reverse.
No cracks or hair, in near perfect condition. RARE.
Thomas Germany is part of Rosenthal and was located close to the French border. JEAN LUCE used it as he used Arzberg and all the major French factories.
