Description
A classic Aplico Empire Green flat panelled coffee cup and matching saucer, with gold banding and a contrasting white interior. Made from fine quality French porcelain renowned for its durability and heat retention properties. French bistro ware was originally designed in the 1930's by Yves Deshoulieres, and was listed as one of the 100 best ever product designs by Sir Terrence Conran.


Condition
The plates are offered in used as new condition with no chips, cracks, crazing or restoration
The Apilco Bistro dinnerware is instantly recognisable, with its stylish and distinctive Empire Green colour, decorated with a gold coach line. The china is glazed and fired at 1400°C, making it very hard and durable. The colour, along with the unusual shape of the crockery, serve a functional purpose, helping to retain the heat in your food or beverage. This, in turn, facilitates al fresco dining, allowing you to sit outside your favourite bar, watching the world go by, whilst nursing a coffee, for far longer than you really should.

Both heavy and stackable, the crockery is designed to meet the demands of the catering business; something it has done for over seventy years, in cafés, bistros and restaurants across France. It manages to be both functional, stylish, luxurious and mass-produced; a true icon of France.

The Apilco range is produced by Deshoulières in Limoges. Deshoulières was founded in 1826, and like so many French companies is exceptionally proud that everything they produce is 100% French. They've obtained the prestigious ‘Origine France Garantie' award for dedication to French industry and artisan know-how.
