Tea and Coffee Service

In France, coffee and tea come with their own rituals: the quick, strong coffee of the morning, the small cup served at the end of a long lunch or afternoon tea poured from a pot kept for visits and Sundays.

This collection brings together the pieces of those moments: teapots, coffee pots, milk jugs, creamers, sugar bowls, cups, saucers and complete services once brought out for guests.

Crafted in Limoges porcelain, faïence, rustic stoneware, Dieulefit ceramics, silver plate and other traditional materials... some pieces are elegantly simple while others are decorated with gilded lines, floral patterns or gently curved handles.

Whether mismatched with charm or gathered into a service, antique French tea and coffee pieces bring meaning back to the occasion: a moment to take, a moment to offer and a moment to share.
