Empire green espresso cups with gold trim Helvetia express

Dive into the warm atmosphere of Parisian brasseries with this magnificent set of vintage cups and saucers. Featuring the iconic empire green that is characteristic of zinc counters and the capital's iconic terraces, this set perfectly captures the essence of the French art of living. The stout and generous silhouette of the cup is ideally proportioned to retain all the heat and aroma of a strong espresso or a long coffee. Each piece is enhanced with a delicate gold rim on the lip, adding a touch of luminous elegance that superbly contrasts with the depth of its green glaze. Although their design immediately evokes the mythical productions of the Apilco house, these cups possess their own identity and a rarity all their own. They proudly bear their original golden stamp underneath: Helvetia Déposé Express. Specialising in the creation of hotel porcelain and ceramics in the mid-20th century, the French brand Helvetia established itself at the time as an absolute reference for robustness and technical know-how. Each cup with its saucer weighs 360 g! A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a little coffee at home while recreating the Parisian bistro atmosphere of Place du Tertre in Montmartre. The price corresponds to one cup and its saucer. Please feel free to contact us for a discount when purchasing 4 cups or more and for non-cumulative shipping fees. Height: 5 cm. Saucer: 12.5 cm.
