Hand-painted in the historic workshops of Limoges, France, these pieces are the work of celebrated designer Marie Daâge. Known for her "haute couture" approach to tableware, Daâge’s work is distinguished by its fluid, painterly style and vibrant use of color.
Each plate features a crisp white porcelain ground centered with a ring of hand-painted leafy sprigs in a deep, saturated cobalt blue. The composition is framed by a wide, expressive rim showcasing a "brushed" or "sunburst" effect, where the blue pigment transitions beautifully into the white, mimicking the movement of a painter's brush. Because these are entirely hand-decorated, no two plates are identical; subtle variations in the brushstrokes and ink density highlight their unique, one-of-a-kind nature.
Whether used to elevate a coastal-inspired tablescape or displayed as a pair of decorative wall plates, this duo seamlessly blends classic French porcelain heritage with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. See less
