Limoges has, for over two centuries, possessed its own unique way of transforming porcelain into a true territory of expression for artists. This pair of Maison Manoï plates is part of this French tradition while giving it a decidedly contemporary look. The eye is immediately drawn to this elegant celadon green mesh pattern that runs across the porcelain. The lines intertwine with precision before giving way, in the center, to a vibrant floral composition where deep blue converses with the green of the foliage and a few delicate touches of red. The design is signed by Jean-Paul Bodet. For this decoration, the artist plays on a particularly successful opposition between the almost architectural geometry of the border and the freedom of the botanical elements. The ensemble has character without ever losing that lightness essential for beautiful tables. And behind the design, there is Limoges. This French porcelain, whose whiteness, fineness, and quality have built an international reputation, here hosts a decoration made by chromolithography by a Limoges artisan. The contemporary touch thus extends a history that began more than two centuries ago in the city's workshops. Maison Manoï belongs to that generation of houses that chooses to keep this heritage alive rather than to freeze it. The shapes remain elegant, the decorations dare to use more color, and the porcelain naturally finds its place on today's tables. These plates have enough personality to accompany an antique tablecloth, beautiful crystal glasses, or a much more contemporary table. They are the kind around which one gladly builds an entire setting. New, never used, presented in their original Maison Manoï box. A very beautiful French creation where an artist's design, the craftsmanship of a Limoges artisan, and one of the most prestigious French porcelain traditions meet. Maison Manoï. Design Jean-Paul Bodet. Limoges Porcelain. Diameter 20 cm. Original box. Sold as a pair.
