Vintage LA COUPOLE Brasserie Demistasse Cup GDA, Limoges, France
Charming Art Deco demitasse from the famed La Coupole. See below for some history. Measures 2 1/2\" tall. This was called \"The Dome,\" I believe due to the \'etched\' design. Notice in my photo how it reflects in the sunlight - very cool! The gold on the handle is about 98% in tact. No chips, nicks, cracks, or crazing. These come up for sale every now and again; the last comparable I found was in 2022. Very good vintage condition. La Coupole is a famous brasserie in Montparnasse in Paris. It was opened on December 20, 1927 by Ernest Fraux and René Lafon during the Roaring Twenties when Montparnasse housed a large artistic and literary community – expatriates and members of the Lost Generation. They decorated the place in the contemporary art deco style. Artists of the School of Paris and intellectuals frequented the brasserie in the interwar period.The La Coupole Dance Hall, in the basement, opened on December 24, 1928 and is where musicians performed. Filiberto Rico\'s Rico\'s Créole Band (1910-1976) was the main orchestra of La Coupole, playing rumba, bolero, guaracha, samba and other baião until the 1960s.Among the first artists and intellectuals to adopt La Coupole as their regular haunt were Jean Cocteau, Alberto Giacometti, Joséphine Baker, Man Ray, Georges Braque and Brassaï. Louis Aragon and Elsa Triolet met there in 1928. In the 1930s, aficionados of La Coupole were Pablo Picasso, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, Sonia Delaunay, André Malraux, Jacques Prévert, Marc Chagall, Édith Piaf among many others. In the 1940s and 1950s La Coupole was frequented by Ernest Hemingway, Henry Miller, Marlene Dietrich, and Ava Gardner. After the Second World War, Yves Klein dined there almost every evening and held judo sessions on the terrace. (from Wikipedia) International buyers welcome!
