Six large dinner plates and six smaller cheese/dessert plates compose a service that moves effortlessly from everyday refinement to candlelit evenings.

The Nymphéa design has long been the emblem of Royal Limoges. Introduced in 1925 at the Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs, where it won the Grand Prix, it was once called “Apollon” before taking the name of the flower that inspired its light, fluid curves. Ever since, its airy silhouette has embodied the poetry of French porcelain.

Founded in 1797 and still family-owned, Royal Limoges is the oldest porcelain house in the city that gave its name to the craft. Each piece carries a legacy of centuries-old savoir-faire, gracing tables where simplicity and elegance meet.

They invite moments of conviviality, where French elegance meets the pleasure of sharing a meal.
