Produced by the renowned kg lunéville factory, these relief pieces, entirely hand-painted, offer a warm palette where fruits, leaves, and branches still seem to vibrate with light.
each plate reveals a different decoration—grapes, cherries, apricots, lemons, pears—like a garden of abundance shaped by the artist. The deep colors, shiny glaze, and relief volumes give these works a lively, almost tactile presence.
