Bluebeard (Barbe Bleue), Puss in Boots (Le Chat Botté), Sleeping Beauty (La Belle au Bois Dormant), and Cinderella (Cendrillon) — all beloved tales from Charles Perrault — appear in playful, almost childlike scenes, framed by a refined gilded frieze that shimmers in the light.
These plates summon the memory of childhood goûters — the sweetness of cakes shared, stories whispered at the table, laughter ringing around. Nostalgic yet timeless, they marry innocence with elegance.
Complete sets of such storybook plates are not often seen today, making this ensemble both enchanting and rare to find.
