Funky Food Plates

Some more awesome bric-a-brac donations to share. (But we always need and want more, thank you please)

This set of 4 'side' plates are by Jacques Franck Porcelaine de Paris & Limoges.
Limoges porcelain designates hard-paste porcelain produced by factories near the city of Limoges, France beginning in the late 18th century, but does not refer to a particular manufacturer.

"When you see a piece of Limoges porcelain, the mark you see is not from a particular studio. It may come from one of many studios in the region that choose to use the standardized Limoges porcelain mark. And that’s natural given that the elements (including the traces of soil) needed to produce these delicate creations can be found only in Limoges, France."

The Limoges name is famed for their small hand painted boxes. But our set of plates is more practical!
Each single one is hand painted with various food stuffs - possibly so that you know what food to put on them, although it's savoury rather than our favourite, sweet cakes.

No chips, no scratches, no marks. Perfect set.



The last one is our favourite.

This set is on sale for £40

Just don't put them in the dishwasher!


Bye for now
