About the Item

A pair of French brûlot cups, dating to the Belle Epoque Era, circa early 1900s. These thick-walled sturdy porcelain cups were used in French bistros, brasseries, and cafes to serve the flaming dessert drink, café brûlot – a hot drink made with coffee sweetened with citrus peel, vanilla, cinnamon or cloves. Brandy-soaked sugar was ignited and poured into the cup. The name comes from the French brûlot, meaning “incendiary,” The underside of the cup features a pedestal base with a hollow well which was used to sip a cognac or a liqueur after coffee. The tops and bottoms of the white cups are trimmed with two wide bands in a mustard yellow bordered by a magenta lining. The handles feature a thumb hold with a hand-painted magenta petaled flower. Nice clean interiors. 4 in. from handle to rim, 3 in. across x 3.25 in. high Showing the expected light wear from use.
