Made in Germany, each plate features a different animated chef skating across the ice while presenting a festive specialty, making this a charming and conversation-starting set for holiday entertaining, winter tablescapes, or chef-inspired kitchen décor.

The plates are rendered in crisp white fine porcelain with double dark-green rim bands and lively multicolor illustrations in Guy Buffet’s signature humorous style. Each of the six plates has an individual character and scene on the front, with a corresponding printed title and descriptive caption on the reverse. One example reads: “Jacques executes an elegant spin before carving the holiday ham.”

This coordinated but assorted set offers wonderful visual variety at the table. Use them as dessert, salad, luncheon, appetizer, or bread-and-butter plates; they would also make a delightful decorative plate display in a kitchen, dining room, restaurant, or bar area. Their festive skating scenes make them especially appealing for Christmas entertaining and winter gatherings, while the playful chef imagery works beautifully year-round. See less
