Exquisite 54-piece "Paniers Fleuris" dinnerware set designed by Patrick Frey in Limoges porcelain in the 1990s. The reverse side bears the hallmark "Patrick Frey. Paris. 'Paniers Fleuris' Tissu assorti" and the Limoges porcelain mark.
The soup plates feature a non-uniform mustard-yellow glaze with a textured yet smooth finish, simulating a pattern of fine, intersecting lines, similar to a fabric or linen effect. This effect is a nod to the textile heritage of the brand founded by Pierre Frey, Patrick Frey's father, internationally renowned for its decorative fabric designs. The remaining pieces have the same mustard background, overlaid with a geometric profile of various bands and a large basket of flowers in the center. The small bread plates do not include the basket.

More about Limoges Porcelain
The story of France's most famous porcelain factory begins in 1768, when significant deposits of kaolin were discovered in Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, very near Limoges. This delicate white clay would prove crucial in the creation of porcelain of such high quality that it would be compared to Chinese porcelain, considered at the time to be the finest in the world.
This marked the beginning of a new ceramics industry in Europe. King Louis XVI issued an edict granting the city of Limoges the exclusive right to produce porcelain for the Kingdom of France. Following the French Revolution, several private porcelain factories were established in the city, each identified by a different name or symbol.
Today, each design is unique and created by true artists. Limoges porcelain is produced in about twenty manufactories, all located in the Haute-Vienne department. Recognizing authentic Limoges porcelain is quite simple: all objects from this French house bear the maker's mark. Usually stamped in black or blue, this mark can provide very precise clues for dating the piece. Much Limoges porcelain was originally made in white and decorated later. Therefore, the maker's mark was often accompanied by that of the decorator.
