Jean Luce’s Coffee and Tea set Rectangle Model Created in France 1932 Cream Glazed Earthenware This iconic avant garde Art Deco tableware was created by the famous French designer and manufacturer Jean Luce in 1932. This Jean Luce’s set is a perfect example of his unique style, with their light, linear graphics. A rare model very sought after and shown on the front cover of an excellent book that came out last year: ‘Jean Luce et le renouveau de la table française 1910-1960’. The model name is Rectangle, architectural and combines rectangle and circle forms in a clever harmonious contrasting way.
The glazed earthenware has this chic cream colouring that was special to Jean Luce, and the forms never seen before, timeless and practical.
This rare set comprises one tea pot, one milk jug, one sugar bowl, three large cups and saucers and 6 small cups and saucers. All pieces of the Rectangle design are unique, very creative, sleek and simple, which always prove to be the most difficult to invent. All pieces are signed.
Overall in good condition with some small chips shown on pictures. 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 among other famous references. His constant concern was for purity, refinement and rationalism.
