La Route des Comptoirs Teapot‑and‑Cup Set — White Porcelain
La Route des Comptoirs Teapot‑and‑Cup Set — White Porcelain
A refined porcelain teapot‑and‑cup set from La Route des Comptoirs, the tea division of Cafés Richard, France’s iconic supplier of café and hotel service. The brand name translates to “The Route of the Trading Posts,” a reference to the historic French comptoirs in India and Asia — the maritime trading posts where tea, coffee, and spices first entered Europe.
This heritage is reflected in their signature logo, found on all three pieces of the set: a sailing boat with sails shaped like tea leaves. It symbolizes both the botanical origin of tea and the historic sea routes that carried it across continents. The teapot also bears the printed name “La Route des Comptoirs.”
Crafted in smooth white porcelain, the teapot nests neatly over the matching cup and saucer, creating a compact silhouette that keeps your tea warm while saving space on the table. The measured capacity is 12 fl oz for the teapot and 6 fl oz for the cup, ideal for a personal tea ritual at home or at your desk.
