Pair of Viandox advertising cups with deep blue decoration, representative of post-war productions distributed in French cafes and brasseries from the 1950s onwards. Based on the standardized bistro model introduced in the late 1930s, these unembossed examples attest to mass production by various French earthenware factories to meet growing demand. Their robust shape, with thick walls and an open handle, is typical of professional tableware designed for intensive use. The blue decoration, which has become the brand's signature, is presented here in a sober and effective version, widely distributed in establishments and homes alike.
