The shape traces back to 1840, when French soldiers at the siege of Mazagran in Algeria drank cold coffee sweetened with sugar. The drink kept the name, and Charles Pillivuyt turned it into porcelain that could carry any hot drink. This set of four was likely produced in the mid 20th century, marked LIMOGES France on each underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is what makes the antique Limoges mazagran worth taking a second look. A tall, gently tapered body rises out of a short pedestal foot... with no handle and just clean white porcelain throughout. The glaze is bright and even, the walls have a substantial feel in the hand and all four pieces match across the set. Each stands 14 cm tall with a 7 cm rim, holding roughly a cappuccino or café au lait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet these vintage French porcelain coffee cups out at the end of a long lunch, filled with a proper café au lait, cappuccino, hot chocolate or the traditional iced mazagran the piece was made for. A set of of 4 like this is difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53501531783511,"sku":"POR-027","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-limoges-porcelain-mazagran-cups-set-four-2.jpg?v=1778265217","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-mazagran-cups-limoges-porcelain-set-of-four","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
