Coffee cup and saucer, Wedding Flowers wax print, lavender blue and sunshine yellow colors

In West Africa, this floral fabric is given to newlyweds: it symbolizes happiness.

On the cup, sun-yellow and orange flowers stand out against a lavender-blue background; the white allows the finely striated petals to breathe. The saucer features a crown of the same pattern. This coffee cup and its saucer are our tribute to the iconic "Fleurs de Mariage" fabric.

🌺 One pattern, a thousand names

Designed in the late 1970s, this bouquet of hibiscus with finely striated petals became one of the most beloved wax fabrics, and one of the most copied. In the world of wax, it is the market women and those who wear the fabrics who give their names to the patterns.

• Fleurs de Mariage (French-speaking West Africa): the fabric given to newlyweds.
• Hibiscus (West Africa): a neighboring pattern, worn by the bride's single friends, who humorously display on it that they are also looking for a suitor.

✨ What the pattern tells

The pattern speaks of the couple's happiness and the promise of a happy home. It is a festive fabric, given as a gift and worn around a wedding.

Our reinterpretation

On the cup, the full pattern covers the entire surface; on the saucer, it forms a ring. Lavender blue serves as the background for the sun-yellow and orange flowers, punctuated with white. This coffee cup and its saucer are decorated to order in our workshop in Alfortville, pattern prepared, applied and glazed by hand before firing.

At your table

For a morning coffee in soft light, on a light linen tablecloth or a light wood table, this cup and its saucer bring the colors of an intimate celebration. To give to newlyweds or to those who love tables dressed with patterns that tell the happiness of the couple.
