Art Deco Silver Plated Cups

A matched pair of French silver-plated chocolate cups, marked CGF with a generous 4 grams of silver plating. Defined by their wide 9 cm rims and distinctive architectural handles, the cups reflect the early Art Deco shift toward clarity of form and purposeful design.

The handles — broad, squared, and confidently integrated into the body — give the pieces a strong graphic presence, setting them apart from softer earlier styles. Designed for drinking chocolate, Coffee or bouillon, the cups balance weight and proportion beautifully, sitting comfortably in the hand while retaining a sculptural, composed silhouette.

Restrained yet expressive, they embody the quiet modernity of the 1930s, where function and elegance were brought into careful alignment.
