Description
A pretty set of six Arcopal cups and saucers (French Pyrex style).
Pale white opal pressed glasswear, coated in 6 opalescent very pale pastel shades with gold gilt trims.
I think the design originated in 1958, so circa 1960s vintage.
Made in France.
Mid-sized coffee cups, ideal for those French Press style coffees on a Sunday morning – many of these are smaller espresso sized.
Colours are blue white, pale pink, pale peach, pale green, pale blue grey, and yellowy white – please see photos, they’re very subtle pale shades.
An original complete set – all stamped to the bases with the same logos.
The nature of the Arcopal glassware design means these are durable – suitable for the dishwasher.
Very good condition.
One chip under a saucer.
Gold gilt trims are worn to the cups from use and being handled.
No cutlery marks.
Being pressed glass there are some manufacturing lines and irregularities within the pearl coloured coatings.
Each cup is around 8.5cm diameter (excl handle) x 4.8cm tall…. a mid-size.
Saucers are 12.6cm wide.
Apx 130ml, 5floz, 1/2 cup, or 1/4 pint sized cups.
