A charming eight-piece French faience serving set by Gien in the delightful “Lorraine” pattern.

The decoration combines bold red tulips with delicate blue flowers and hand-painted red borders, all set against the warm ivory tone of the glazed faience. The result is wonderfully cheerful and distinctly French, with an appealing balance of country-house charm and mid-century design.

The set includes seven small square plates with softly rounded corners, ideal for desserts, pastries, petit fours, appetizers, or cheese, together with a long matching serving platter.

Displayed together, the pieces create a particularly attractive French table setting, equally suited to a traditional country interior, a more eclectic home, or a relaxed contemporary tablescape.

Glazed French faience by Gien.

Set of 8 pieces:

7 small plates: 5.7 × 5.7 in.
1 serving platter: 14.8 × 5.5 in.

Good overall vintage condition with minor signs of use consistent with age.

The long serving platter has one small chip to the edge, clearly shown in the photographs. Other minor irregularities and surface marks are consistent with vintage tableware that has been used and enjoyed.
