This is a stunning set of six, mid century, seafood plates. Made in the 1970's by the famous French GIEN pottery, founded in 1821, these plates are now very rare and collectible.
Each plate has been 'spray' glazed individually, so each one varies slightly from the others in color and intensity and is completely unique and original. Some are deeper orange than others. The irridescent orange 'pools' contrast beautifully with the warm, 'drizzled' blue and white edges. They are fascinating to look at and wonderfully tactile. There cannot be a more stylish way to serve your seafood course at dinner parties.
Each plate has six compartments, a circular central 'well', where you stylishly serve your lemon ready for squeezing onto the seafood. The other sections vary in size and shape and can be used for anything, from serving prawns, crab, oysters, mussels and scallops to dipping sauces or discarded shells.
The six plates are chunky, weighing 500gms / 1.1 lbs! each and measure 24cms/ 9½" diameter.
Each plate carries the famous 'GIEN Château' logo on the underside. They stack into each other very neatly, making them easy to store without taking up too much cupboard space.
They are in amazing condition, with no chips or cracks. One of the plates is much darker than the others, and has the Lobster motif facing right, the other five have the Lobster facing left!
This set really is a rare 'find' indeed and simply beautiful..............
.................et Voila!.........
