Bernardaud Set of 2 Gold Loop handle-less Espresso cups with saucers Limoges

Description

Set of 2 handle-less espresso cups and saucers 2.4 oz
Designed by Christophe Pillet
The shape of the cup emphasizes the taste and aroma of coffee thanks to its thin edges while keeping it hot.
Christophe Pillet set out to create the perfect espresso cup, an objective that the French designer has masterfully achieved with this "Loop" cup. The conical shape of the porcelain cup allows the rich coffee aroma to be enjoyed to the full and ensures the espresso retains the right temperature for longer than in a normal cup. To hold the cup securely in position there is a slightly raised surface in the middle of the saucer. Adding to the coffee enjoyment is the cup's elegant decoration, a captivating combination of concentric circles in gold
