Dinner plate Oiseau Bleu 27.4cm
Description and explanation
Discover the art of French dining with the beautiful Oiseau Bleu dinner plates (27.4 cm in diameter). Each plate in this charming collection is a model of craftsmanship and tradition, with each piece being the result of no less than 600 years of collective experience. Imagine - that's like dining out with an entire dynasty of potters! The unique charm begins with the mysterious mixture of no less than fourteen types of earth, the basis of the peerless faïence, whose recipe is as well preserved as the lost treasures of Atlantis. The carefully shaped "cookie" of each dinner plate is hand sanded to perfection, an eye-catcher on any table. Then there is the chromolithography process, a dance between the craftsman and the fiery kiln, in which pattern and color are united - a wondrous spectacle. Hand-painting, reserved only for the most prestigious pieces, adds another personal touch. This technique requires a minimum of three years to master; it is the haute couture among porcelain. Finally, Gien applies a glaze that not only sparkles like the starry sky over the French countryside, but also accentuates the vibrant colors that characterize Oiseau Bleu. At an elevation fire of 1060°C, the glaze is vitrified, giving it a perpetual luster and color intensity. This not only makes the presentation of your culinary masterpieces a visual feast, but makes every dining moment with loved ones a memory as timeless as the plates themselves. Gather around the table and let the Oiseau Bleu dinner plates tell the story of tradition, expertise, and a touch of magic. This is where friends and family come together, where the conversations are as rich as the food, and where each meal celebrates a piece of the French soul. Because say it yourself, who needs an invitation to a French chateau when your own dining table can rival the grandeur of Versailles? Bon appétit and a toast to timeless beauty and unparalleled quality, every day.
