K&G Lunéville "Broderie" Cups

Crafted by the renowned Keller & Guérin (K&G) in Lunéville during the late 19th century, this set of faïence cups features the exquisite "Broderie" pattern. The intricate blue-and-white geometric and floral border was designed to mimic the delicate artistry of traditional French needlework, bringing a refined yet grounded beauty to the table.

Measuring a petite 6 centimeters in both height and diameter, these vessels have developed a heavy, beautiful crazing across their glaze. This intricate web of time adds a distinct historic soul and undeniable character that cannot be artificially replicated, capturing a century of quiet mornings in the French countryside.

We celebrate pieces that show their history. Consistent with generations of provincial use, one cup bears a soft, time-worn chip along its rim, while another features an intact crack near its handle. They remain a breathtaking testament to the enduring charm of authentic French faïence, whether serving an espresso or sitting beautifully displayed upon an open shelf.
