Set of 6 coffee cup & saucer 8 cl , "Banality Series", gold
- Order number: V117317
The material of porcelain has always intrigued me, both economically and sexually. When fired in the oven, porcelain shrinks, resulting in a tautness to the material. Historically, porcelain was reserved for the emperor, but today it has become accessible to all, and it is for these material qualities that I chose to use it in the Banality Series. Being included in the Bernardaud collection is a great thrill for me. - Jeff Koons
Bernardaud has been synonymous with the entire art of Limoges porcelain since 1863, combining know-how and innovation, creativity and French tradition.
In a field that is constantly changing and at the forefront of design, the House of Bernardaud develops new technologies and constantly pushes the boundaries of the art of fire in its Limoges manufacture.
To design its collections of porcelain dinner services, lamps, candles and jewellery, the house commissions the greatest contemporary designers and artists. Bernardaud also makes bespoke creations - in décor or shape - for the hotel and catering industry: plates, cups, bowls, lights and decorative objects in porcelain to grace the tables of the greatest chefs and the most beautiful palaces around the world.
Depending on the style of the collection, the application of the decoration is more or less complex. Some valuable pieces are painted by hand and the craftsmen show exceptional dexterity in using a wide variety of brushes.
In most cases, a leaf decoration (decalcomania principle) is applied by hand on the white porcelain. It is dipped in water so as to detach the design from its paper backing and applied to the piece. The leaf decoration is produced by different printing processes, originally lithography, now silk-screen printing. The Bernardaud factory is one of the few in Limoges to have a printing works.
