Coffee cups in fine Limoges Union Fraternelle porcelain, Paul Masquet edition

A set of cups and saucers for 5 people, probably dating from the 1950s, is stamped by two manufacturers: union fraternale and p. Marquet, a porcelain maker associated with the Les Palloux and La Seynie factories. It offers us a beautiful quality of porcelain with a remarkable shine. * The fraternal union, founded in 1842 by the porcelain maker Charles Pillivuyt in Limoges, was specialized in the production of fine porcelain. The factory aimed to stimulate the local economy by creating jobs and promoting international trade in Limoges porcelain. The pieces of the fraternal union, marked by the initials "uf" and "l" of Limoges, are today prized by collectors for their quality and their historical provenance. * The set is in very good condition. Despite traces of use on the handles and some patterns, as well as a slight crack and a small cooking error, these imperfections alter neither their aesthetics nor their usefulness. * A style completely up to date, but also adaptable with many other interior designs. Its timeless side could go perfectly with many events. For the upcoming Christmas event, this set could cause a sensation when serving coffee. * Despite limited information, this porcelain remains a precious testimony of its time. * 📏 cups: 9 cm dia / 5.2 cm h. saucers: 13.6 cm dia. ⚖️ 0.860g.
