Gien - Dinner set (9) - Hors d’oeuvre - Faience - Sixties dinnerware

Rare set of 9 hors d’oeuvre divided plates. GIEN. France. 1960s–1970s.

Description
This is dining with attention. Not hurried. Not fleeting.

Nine original divided plates from GIEN. Made in a period when form and function kept each other sharp. Each plate is logically divided. Clean lines. Clear planes. Everything has its own place. Olives. Nuts. Cheese. Citrus. No overlap. No mess.

The glaze ranges from warm mustard yellow to honey brown. Deep. Lively. With visible nuances per plate. The surface shows natural crazing. Exactly what you search for with French faience from this period. Not smooth perfection. But character and age.

These plates belong on long tables. With conversations that run on. With good light. With time.
