ABOUT PRODUCTID 33495
This coffee set, created for the French television channel TF1 in the 1970s, is a collectible example of vintage pop culture design. The set consists of four coffee cups with matching saucers and a cake plate, all crafted from faience with a smooth, glossy surface. The base color is a warm, creamy off-white, serving as a backdrop for a vivid decal: a stylized black and yellow elephant with the inscription ‘le petit rapporteur’ on a yellow banner, referencing the satirical TV show popular at the time. The illustration is detailed—the elephant is accented in yellow and outlined in black, and the overall style is distinctly retro, echoing the pop-art influences of the 1970s. The proportions remain classic: the cups feature rounded forms and sturdy handles, the saucers measure 12 cm in diameter, and the cake plate is 20.5 cm. Each piece is signed. The set is preserved in very good condition, with no signs of wear, chips, or restoration.
This set tells the story of the 1970s—a decade when French pop culture and television embraced bold, humorous graphics. ‘Le petit rapporteur’, a cult satirical program on TF1, became an emblem of its era, and its symbolic elephant became part of everyday rituals—as if every cup of coffee from this set carries a hint of irony and the lightness characteristic of the time. The design seems to wink at the user
