A lovely piece of mid-century German porcelain with the romantic feel of old Paris, this Bremer & Schmidt “Vieux Paris” creamer has an elegant, slightly formal silhouette that feels right at a breakfast table, afternoon tea, or tucked into a collection of vintage china.
The “Vieux Paris” designation - French for “Old Paris” - was used by Bremer & Schmidt of Eisenberg, Germany on porcelain made in the mid-20th century, creating a distinctly European interpretation of the ornate French porcelain tradition. The BSE mark places this piece with the German manufacturer rather than an antique French Vieux Paris maker.
At 4 inches tall, it has a lovely presence without being overly precious. Use it for cream or milk at the table, or repurpose it as a tiny vase for a few stems—because beautiful old pieces deserve to be used.
