EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite and extremely rare porcelain coffee cup and saucer, manufactured by S. A. de Fuisseaux Baddour in Belgique during 1914, is a precious testament to the deep appreciation and admiration the Belgian people held for the British army during World War I. The cup, inscribed with the phrase "Heroic Tommy in Belgium" and adorned with the Union Jack and the colors of the Belgian flag on the handle, is a poignant symbol of the unity and camaraderie between the two nations. The saucer, featuring the three colors of the Belgian flag on the rim and four Union Jacks, further emphasizes this sentiment. The manufacturers stamp on the base of each piece adds authenticity to this delightful early piece, which shows the high esteem in which Britain and its army were held by the Belgians. This commemorative ware, produced during the early stages of WWI, is a significant historical artifact that tells a story of unity and appreciation during a time of conflict. The intricate design and rare provenance make this porcelain set a valuable addition to any collection.
