Set of 4 Digoin & Sarreguemines bouillon cups, Timor decor

Superb and rare set of 4 antique fine earthenware bouillon cups, stamped Digoin & Sarreguemines, bearing the famous "Timor" decoration, in a typical Japanese style of the 1920s–1935s. Each cup features an oriental scene with kimono-clad figures, pagodas, and stylized floral elements, in a rich palette of brick red, empire green, deep blue, and saffron yellow tones, evoking the "famille verte" or "Imari" decorations dear to lovers of Asian aesthetics revisited in the European style. The rim is highlighted with a hand-oxidized red line, and the interior is decorated right down to the bottom, with great finesse of execution. The angular side-handle shape, very Art Deco, is typical of consommé cups of this period. Stamped crowned coat of arms "Digoin & Sarreguemines" intaglio + printed blue stamp Estimated period: years 1925–1935 Diameter 8 cm, height 4.5 cm Very good general condition, minimal signs of time consistent with age, patina on the bottom of one of the cups and a small chip on the rim of one of the cups. Perfect for diverted use or to display in a kitchen with vintage charm. A refined classic to collect, especially in this stamped version, rarer than simple pieces marked "Timor".
