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 fits into 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, at 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 Jean-Paul Bodet. For this decor, the artist plays on a particularly successful opposition between the almost architectural geometry of the border and the freedom of the botanical elements. The set has character without ever losing the lightness essential for beautiful dining tables. And behind the design, there is Limoges. This French porcelain, whose whiteness, fineness, and quality have built an international reputation, here hosts a decor created in 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 brands that chooses to keep this heritage alive rather than freezing it. The forms remain elegant, the decors dare to use more color, and the porcelain naturally reclaims 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 setting. They are among those around which one gladly builds an entire decor. New, never used, presented in their original Maison Manoï box. A beautiful French creation where an artist's design, the expertise 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.
