Jean-Paul Thévenot (M.O.F.) - Table service (3) - Copper - Set of jugs or milk jugs.

Rare series of 3 handmade-hammered copper pitchers or milk jugs by Jean-Paul Thévenot (M.O.F.)

Splendid and elegant set consisting of a series of 3 jugs in a scale of sizes in solid copper, entirely shaped and hammered by hand by the renowned French master Jean-Paul Thévenot.

Originating from Durfort, a historic village of copper beaters, Thévenot has been awarded the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (M.O.F.), the highest state honor recognizing absolute excellence in French decorative arts.

Each piece features an elegant turned wooden handle and a coordinated lid. On the outer base, the official workshop punch is cold-pressed: the cursive signature "Jean Paul Thévenot" surmounted by the circular stamp "Médaille d'Argent - Exp Paris 82", testifying to the Silver Medal received at the Paris Exposition of 1982.
