Superb and rare VIANDOX advertising cup in semi-porcelain from Badonviller, adorned with the famous slogan "Health through Viandox! A Liebig product." The blue-green printed decoration, framed by plant garlands in a style still marked by Art Nouveau, is combined with an elegant molded handle typical of early interwar period productions. The underside bears the stamp of the Badonviller earthenware factory, identifiable by its crown mark, confirming quality French semi-porcelain manufacture around 1920. This model most likely corresponds to the first series of Viandox advertising cups distributed in France, at the time of the product's launch and popularization in cafes and brasseries.
