Elevate your morning coffee or afternoon tea with a highly coveted, discontinued pair of fine porcelain mugs from Hermès Paris. These pieces are from the celebrated "Nil" (The Nile) collection, a rare and beautifully minimalist series inspired by serene Egyptian water gardens. This particular motif beautifully mirrors the aesthetic of the fashion house's iconic Un Jardin sur le Nil fragrance line.
This unique collector's set includes two distinct variations of the design:
• One Mug with 24k Gold Trim: Features the classic, warm gilded rim.
• One Mug with Silver/Platinum Trim: Features a sleek, cool-toned metallic rim.
Both white porcelain mugs showcase a delicate, continuous botanical illustration of winding green lotus stems, sweeping lily pads, upright seed pods, and a soft, blooming white water lily blossom. They have a wonderfully tactile feel, balance beautifully in the hand, and look stunning displayed together on an open shelf or bar cart.
Because the "Nil" collection has been discontinued for quite some time, finding a matching pair featuring both rare metallic rim variants is incredibly difficult. This set is a phenomenal find for serious Hermès collectors, enthusiasts of fine French tableware, or anyone looking to add a touch of quiet luxury to their home.
