Parisienne
The fine china Parisienne shape was introduced in 1957 and included a sugar, creamer, and teapot. In addition, a new cup and coupe shaped saucer was introduced at the same time. George Ivers designed this shape for Jackson Vitrified China Co. Inc.
The Moderne decoration featured a white body with either gold or platinum rim edging.
The Modern Living fine china line by Jackson was reported to initially include 15 patterns all on the coupe shape and they were represented to the industry by Vogue Ceramics Industries, Inc., believed to be a division of Jackson Vitrified China originally referred to as Universal Vogue, Inc.
I think this is the best pattern I have seen on this shape, but I don't know its name--unless it also assumed the line name, Modern Living.
Parisienne Shape and Eifel Cup
Thought you might like to see what the covered creamer and teapot look like. Also the Eifel Cup which accompanied orders by request.
Thanks Mike!
Your collection of period information and brochures is amazing! I would love to find that teapot--what a fun shape.
Has anyone seen much of this pattern over the years?
Old Cup, NO!
Can you imagine anyone wanting the "old cup" after seeing the sexy new "prize" design coupe cup?
I love how they say that their new tea set has "award winning potential." I wonder if their Parisienne dinnerware won any awards after all of that glowing hyperbole? Even if it didn't win any awards, I would love to find the teapot. How cool!
