Longchamp Tip Tray "Auberge du Vert-Galant" - Paris

This original vintage tip tray (coupelle) comes from the traditional Auberge du Vert-Galant, a historic restaurant at 42, Quai des Orfèvres on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris. With its elegant decor, gilded rim, and historic portrait, it is an authentic testament to French culinary culture of the mid-20th century.

The piece was manufactured by the renowned French manufacturer Longchamp France, which has been producing high-quality ceramic tableware for French gastronomy for generations. The cream-colored glaze, the embossed shape, and the hand-applied gold rim give the coupelle its timeless elegance.

The historic telephone number on the back with the Parisian prefix "DAN." (Danton) dates the piece to the 1950s to early 1960s. Originally, the coupelle was used in restaurants as a tip tray or small payment plate for serving the bill or change – a characteristic detail of French cafés and restaurants of that era.

Today, the piece is equally suitable as a stylish trinket dish for jewelry, keys, or coins, bringing a piece of French bistro history into everyday life.
