ProfessionalProduct description
These two small bowls encapsulate all the charm of a bygone French table, where everyday tableware was still crafted by genuine porcelain houses and even the simplest pieces received meticulous decoration. This pair comes from Chauvigny, in the Vienne region, one of the important centers of French porcelain history in the 20th century. The red stamp under each bowl bears the inscription Porcelaine France, F.D., Le Chauvigny, associated with Fernand Deshoulières and the production of Chauvigny. The factory is part of a tradition that began in the 19th century and was developed in the following century by the Deshoulières family. Chauvigny then became a true porcelain center, producing renowned French tableware which for several decades graced family tables as well as those in hotels and restaurants. Our two bowls belong to this world. Their silhouette is immediately recognizable. A small, round, deep cup, set on a discreet footrim, reminiscent of the traditional cider bowl. But it is above all their decoration that gives them such an endearing personality. On the white porcelain, small, delicately colored fruits appear, arranged like tiny miniatures. Purple plums, a golden pear, a pinkish apple, an orange, and small red berries, accompanied by green foliage. The motifs change as the bowls are turned, so that each one has several faces. A fresh, almost naive decoration, very representative of French tableware from the 1960s-1970s, when manufacturers reinterpreted traditional forms with more colorful and familiar designs. The porcelain retains a lovely luminosity, and the set possesses that particular charm of objects that have spanned several decades without losing their freshness. Diameter approximately 10 cm, height approximately 5 cm. These small bowls can naturally resume their primary function around a bottle of cider, but they are equally appealing on a table for some dried fruit, a dessert, or simply displayed in a collection of antique French tableware. A beautiful pair of Chauvigny porcelain bowls, marked with its manufacturer's stamp, a testament to an era when French table arts knew how to make the most ordinary objects infinitely charming.
