An exceptional brûlot cup, found in a Paris fleamarket, I have not seen another with this fabulous detailed  patterning; with the hand coloured flowers , striking red and yellow edges and the wonderfully ornate handle.
 
It is in thick porcelain, deliberately designed so that once warmed it would  keep the coffee warm for longer . It is in the it has the classic Parisian café shape with the dimple in the base, the cup could turned over when finished for a shot of eau de vie to be poured into this dip.
 
It is in very good antique condition with only expected minor signs of age.
