An incredible antique set of eight cups and saucers dating to the 1920's. The glazed ceramic pieces have been made by "Mont Chevalier" in Cannes. The pottery manufacture of Cannes works from 1878 to 1931. It was originally housed at Le Suquet in the former Château de Cannes and occupied a large part of the present-day Musée de la Castre. This 100-year-old set of cups and saucers has not aged a day. Its black palm trees and aloe vera design against a luminous orange sunset background will take you on a trip to Cannes, by the Mediterranean sea, near the Promenade des Anglais. Rare to find, do not miss it !
