Apilco Green and Gold Bistroware has become a contemporary style icon.
The Apilco range is produced by Deshoulières in Limoges. Apilco Bistro dinnerware is instantly recognisable, with its stylish and distinctive Empire Green colour, decorated with a gold coach line. The china is glazed and fired at 1400°C, making it very hard and durable. The colour, along with the unusual shape of the crockery, serve a functional purpose, helping to retain the heat in your food or beverage. Both heavy and stackable, the crockery is designed to meet the demands of the catering business; something it has done for over seventy years, in cafés, bistros and restaurants across France. It manages to be both functional, stylish, luxurious and mass-produced; a true icon of France and championed by Francophiles in the UK during the 70s and 80s and again now.
