A gorgeous collection of 9 vintage and highly collectable ceramic féves. Each one is a duck with a member of the family stamped on it. We have managed to find the entire family, having sourced each one individually and this is a really rare find.
They were made for Brioche Pasquier, stamped on the base.
They measure approx 3.5 cms (1.5") high.
A féve literally translates as a fava bean. However in this context they are a small porcelain charm which is hidden inside the French Galette des Rois (king's cake) at Epiphany.
There is one in each cake and the person who finds the féve inside their cake is crowned king or queen for the day.
These vintage ones are highly collectable.
