Description
Jean Luce Paris white porcelain dinner service for 6 circa 1950.
JEAN LUCE (1895-1964), a member of the UAM movement, worked on the balance between form and function in the glassware and ceramics he produced for his Paris shop, for Compagnie Générale Transatlantique liners and for the Sèvres factory.
Jean Luce’s constant concern was for purity, refinement and rationalism.
This dinner service by Jean Luce is a perfect example of his style, with its light, linear lines.
In white porcelain decorated with the black YPM monogram.
It includes the following pieces:
6 large plates D24xH2.5 cm
6 starter or dessert plates D21.2 x H2 cm
1 circular dish D30.5xH2.7 cm
1 long dish
1 rectangular dish
Total 1400 euros
We also propose 6 coffee cups and saucers listed separately 250 euros.
Each piece is marked with the Jean LUCE France and Thomas Germany stamps on the reverse (except for the cheese dishes of identical manufacture).
No cracks or hairline no cracks, overall in very good condition.
Thomas Germany was part of Rosenthal and was located close to the French border at the time, so JEAN LUCE worked with them for the outstanding quality of their porcelain.
