"Gobelet: A Journey Through Time and Culture" Step into the world of gobelets, as we explore their rich history and diverse uses. From engravings in an 1814 French alphabet book to a portrait of Mademoiselle Marie Gabrielle Capet, these illustrations capture the essence of this versatile object. Intriguingly, even the coconut merchant is depicted with a gobelet in hand, showcasing its presence in everyday life. The Gray Earth Goblet adds an artistic touch to this collection, highlighting how gobelets have been embraced by various art forms throughout history. Moving forward to more recent times, we discover the significance of gobelets during World War I at the Eastern Station Red Cross location in Paris. These cups played a vital role in providing comfort and sustenance to those affected by war. The Porte Saint-Denis illustration further emphasizes the ubiquity of gobelets. Here, we see not only water towers but also merchants selling coconuts and carriers transporting water alongside limonadières - all connected through their use of this humble cup. Different sizes and variations are showcased through Cup and Saucer depictions - from litron et soucoupe deuxième grandeur to enfonce première grandeur. Each design serves a specific purpose while maintaining elegance and functionality. Lastly, we encounter a covered cup and saucer known as "gobelet à lait et soucoupe. " This particular variation highlights how gobelets have adapted to meet different needs over time. Through these captivating illustrations spanning centuries, it becomes evident that gobelets hold much more than just liquid; they carry stories of culture, tradition, nourishment, resilience, and creativity.
