Featured Louis Lourioux stoneware pitcher/cup set

Has the wolf / crossed L's mark. I wouldn't have known the maker on this had I not recently seen a thread on here about a Lourioux bowl. I learn so much on here! When I turned this over and saw the mark I snatched it up. Anyway - thought I'd share. Hot chocolate set? Or ..coffee? The little cups hold about 2.5 ounces.

I really like this set! When I saw the logo "Louis Vuitton" popped in my head. Its pure 1980s to me. Yet another item to look for!

 

Cool set!

This may well be a chocolate set. From what I recall, that small, sharp spout, set at a 90 degree angle to the pot, is characteristic of a chocolate pot.

 

I love this.
Something to look out for.

 

Sweeeeet !!!!!

 

Nice set. I would have snatched this in a nanosecond.

 

I have the bowl and wish I had this set. You lucky thing. JB Miller was the clever Antiquer who identified the mark and said: "French potter Louis Lourioux, 1874-1930. He used several marks on his early pieces, one of which is a wolf (or dog) running to the left with overlapping L's over the center of the animal."

 

I also wonder about it being a sort of cordial or liqueur set... wondering if the cups are too small for chocolate? But then there are handles on the cups, so that leads to the idea of something warm.

Oh, and by the way. Great find!

I guess I am the only one wondering why there is a cork on the end of the lid. I also have been "thinking ahead" to the possibility/fact? that the length of the cork is in such close proximity to the spout that the cork will routinely be "bathed" in chocolate as it is poured.

 

It's sandstone/ceramic - just looks like cork in the pic.

 

You got me thinking - so I measured the capacity of the cups - and they are way less than what I guessed by eyeballing - 22ml / .75 ounces. So I think most likely you are right. Probably a liquour decanter and "half shot" glasses.

 

Hello,

Is Louis Lourioux liquor service for sale? If yes, I would be a buyer.

To read you.
