French Art Deco Black and White Limoges Tea Set for 12- Art Deco Avalon Collection
This striking Limoges French Art Deco porcelain tea set for sale from the "Avalon" Art Deco Collection was produced by Union Céramique (U.C. Limoges France), one of the premier porcelain makers in Limoges during the early 20th century. Operating from around 1909 to the mid-1930s, Union Céramique was known for its refined craftsmanship and innovative designs, often created for export to other countries.
The set features bold geometric faceting accented in silver and charcoal, perfectly reflecting the modern elegance of the 1930s French Art Deco movement. Each piece is crafted in fine white porcelain and hand-decorated with mirrored silver highlights, embodying the precision and glamour celebrated at the 1925 Paris Exposition. The service includes a tea/coffee pot, sugar bowl, creamer, jam pot, 12 dessert plates, and 12 matching cups and saucers—making it as functional as it is decorative.
Musée National Adrien Dubouché has thousands of pieces of Limoges porcelain
Collectors will appreciate that Union Céramique embraced the progressive Art Deco aesthetic, creating pieces that bridged the gap between traditional Limoges porcelain artistry and the streamlined, avant-garde designs of the era. This tea set for sale stands as both a work of art and a rare historical example of U.C. Limoges at the height of its creative output.
