Ready for breakfast in bed or on a sunny balcony? A charming five-piece French white breakfast and bistro set combining three vintage Apilco porcelain hotelware pieces with two classic unbranded French earthenware café-au-lait cups.
The marked Apilco pieces include two stackable rounded-square bowls and a coordinating Bistro cream or milk pitcher. Made from durable French hard-paste porcelain, the bowls feature broad rims, softly rounded corners and compact footed bases designed for convenient stacking in cafés, hotels and restaurants.
The two unbranded café-au-lait cups are crafted from traditional white earthenware. Their tall, gently tapered forms are accented with understated molded panels and raised rims, complementing the clean commercial lines of the Apilco pieces beautifully. Subtle differences in material and shade add to the collected French-country character of the set.
Use the cups for café au lait, coffee, tea, hot chocolate or warm milk. The bowls are ideal for croissants, fruit, yogurt, cereal, soup, salad, desserts or aperitivo snacks. The pitcher may hold cream, milk, warm syrup, juice, gravy, dessert sauce or salad dressing. It also makes a charming petite vase for herbs or garden flowers.
A versatile collected set for breakfast in bed, a relaxed brunch table, open kitchen shelving or French bistro-inspired décor.
