Bistro "coin collector" bowls in Limoges porcelain, Early

Diameter 11cm. Weight of each saucer: 120g. The practice of the time was to make a small stack of saucers for each order placed by the customer, with the amount written in Francs corresponding to the said consumption. The total amount due was calculated at the time of payment. The small plates were also used for any tips. These come from the bistro run by an ancestor in the provinces at the beginning of the last century. Their colours, blue, red, and gold, as well as the stamp, have endured wear over time, which gives them their authenticity.
