Description
Jean Luce Paris white porcelain dinner service 134 pieces Circa 1960
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.
This dinner service by Jean Luce is a perfect example of his style, with its light, linear lines.
In white porcelain decorated with the black VPM monogram, it comprises 134 pieces.
It includes the following pieces, with which you can either buy the whole set or create a service for 6, 12 or 18 people:
36 large plates D24xH2.5 cm
36 starter, cheese or dessert plates D21xH2.5 cm
18 soup plates D19xH3.6 cm
18 dessert or bread plates D15.4xH1.6 cm
12 coffee cups D6.7xH6 cm and saucers D12xH1.5 cm
2 oblong dishes L38xW29xH3.3 cm and L33.2xW24H3.3 cm
1 circular flat dish D30.5xH2.7 cm
2 circular deep dishes D29.7xH4.4 cm
1 salad bowl D26.5 cm
2 soup or vegetable dishes with handles D23.4xH7.2 cm
4 ramekins H3.3xL24.6xW14 cm
2 cheese dishes D25xH1.2 cm
Each piece is marked with the Jean LUCE France and Thomas Germany stamp on the reverse (except for the cheese dishes of identical manufacture).
No cracks or hairline cracks, some wear and overall very good condition.
Thomas Germany was part of Rosenthal and was located close to the French border at the time, so JEAN LUCE used it.
