White Breakfast Cup and Saucer

This Limoges porcelain cup and saucer embody the discreet elegance cherished by Betjeman & Barton. The very fine, almost translucent material offers a slightly ivory white that highlights all the nuances of the liqueur, from the darkest black tea to the most crystalline white tea. With its generous capacity of approximately 400 ml, it can accommodate a large morning tea as well as a matcha latte, without ever losing its refined appearance.

The white breakfast cup and saucer, a classic of French art de vivre

In French table art, this large cup accompanied by its saucer bears the evocative name "tasse déjeuner" (breakfast cup). Inherited from its use, this term designates the piece formerly reserved for the first meal of the day: it was gladly used to serve a café au lait or a large tea, accompanied by buttered toast or a slice of soft brioche. Its ample capacity, its delicately flared silhouette, and the width of its saucer, designed to accommodate a spoon or a golden scone, still perpetuate this spirit of conviviality and abundance today.

A perfect duo with the Betjeman & Barton white teapot

The clean lines echo those of the Betjeman & Barton white teapot: the same fine porcelain, sober curve, delicately curved handle that draws a freehand arabesque. Together, they form a harmonious set, ideal for a "trady chic" tea time: impeccably ironed white tablecloth, silver spoons, fresh flowers, and tea boxes lined up on a tray. Neutral and luminous, this duo blends with all universes and graciously accommodates a Darjeeling Bloomfield, a delicate white tea like Les Invités, or a more gourmet blend with notes of vanilla and caramel, Les Classiques. Always just right, never ostentatious, it offers a timeless backdrop that sublimates every cup served.
