Beauty by daylight—with a few unexpected guests.
The Belle de Jour Insect Art Teacup and Saucer celebrates the strange beauty of the natural world with an exuberant collection of insects, flowers, and jewel-like color.
Inspired by the elaborate china of the 1920s, Belle de Jour turns the traditional floral teacup slightly sideways. Instead of polite blossoms alone, beetles, butterflies, moths and other tiny creatures become part of the decoration—a little entomology served with afternoon tea.
Designed as the colorful counterpart to our black-and-white Belle de Nuit, Belle de Jour represents beauty by day: lush, curious, ornate, and just strange enough. Display the two together for contrasting interpretations of the Belle collection—day and night.
Its richly detailed design makes it equally at home on a maximalist table, in a cabinet of curiosities, or among a collection of antique and unusual china.
